What we really need is everyone to suddenly quit at once.

It needs to happen so fast there is no time to sell off the bleeding stocks

[-] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

There is a plan going around over on TikTok that everyone should delete their Meta accounts on the 19th (when the TikTok ban goes into effect). We'll see how many actually do it, but so far it's fascinating to watch.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I'm going to make an account just so I can delete it

Makes me think that platforms banning Trump after Jan 6 were just kissing up to Biden coming in. Maybe there is just a cycle of capitalist sucking up.

"not giving me money is virtue signaling" damn, guess i gotta give him money

Why would a billionaire resort to name calling random people ?

Ooooh ... his wealth and power is threatened.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago

summons angry goose:

"Which virtues, motherfucker?!"

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Privacy, information security, democracy. Others too, I'm sure.

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

No, zucky-fuck. Pretending to care about your users and acting a certain way while you do the opposite to get a small-handed fat orange gremlin back into office is virtue signaling.

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

I finally deleted mines. I don't want to be on platforms using AI bots to engage users and the privacy issues. I just finally told any family where else to follow me and dipped.

"Being virtuous is virtue signaling."

Ok. How about go fuck yourself Mark. Am I vice signaling enough for you now?

[-] kipo@lemm.ee 18 points 7 hours ago

I forgot that not being part of a platform that just changed its rules to openly allow and advocate for hate speech toward trans people is virtue signaling.

Sorry that I want trans people to live without harassment and have human rights, I guess. What a virtue signaling asshole I am.

[-] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Love what your saying enough I wanna try to rephrase it for extra zing.

"Billionaire toddler virtue signaling to wannabe Fascist leader angry to be facing repercussions"

[-] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago
[-] Churlish_Witness@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

This is the move.

Woah. A gif from "The Great Outdoors". Now there's something you don't see everyday!

[-] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 24 points 8 hours ago

Mark Zuckerberg is a whiny piss baby.

[-] Lila_Uraraka 1 points 7 hours ago

Truth, why couldn't he have stayed the same nerdy dude from his collage years

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 9 points 7 hours ago

Anyone who doesn't want be evil is doing so performatively. Obviously.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 5 hours ago

I’m counting on these changes actually making our platforms better

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHHA - wheeeeeeeeeeze - HOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHA-HA-HAAAAA!!!

The Meta boss was defiant in downplaying the possibility of a mass exodus of users.

I mean, he's probably not worrying too much about the US/EU markets, since in terms of MAU, Southeast Asia probably represents over 70% of that. Does anyone know what has been the general reaction to his bullshit over there?

Mary-Frances Makichen, a Threads user who has 253 followers, lamented that Meta and Zuckerberg “are counting on the fact that it’s too hard for people to leave Threads and IG.”

Pretty much. It's probably actually impossible to fully delete the accounts, fuckyzucky lives off users' data.

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 5 hours ago

since in terms of MAU, Southeast Asia probably represents over 70% of that

US & Canada is the biggest region for revenue though. This is public info if you look at the slides from the most recent earnings call: https://investor.atmeta.com/investor-events/event-details/2024/Q3-2024-Earnings-Call/default.aspx

  1. Announces moderation team gutted

  2. Announces that "community notes" will handle moderation

  3. Make a bunch of moves to purge anyone in the community that might actually provide a factual "community note"

[-] gashead76@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

Damn, I didn’t think of it quite like that, but yup, that’s exactly the result.

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 13 points 9 hours ago

What about those of us who never joined?

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

We are virtuous as fuck... i salute you brother

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 18 points 10 hours ago

Anyone who claims someone is virtue signalling is virtue signalling. Except this one comment.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 5 points 7 hours ago

i agree (and this comment here)

[-] gex@lemmy.world 30 points 11 hours ago

Anyone who stops using my product is a poo poo head

[-] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

He's been taking testosterone hasn't he.

[-] Vaggumon@lemm.ee 15 points 11 hours ago

Well then, since 2016 I've been a Virtue signaling mother fucker. Fuck Zuck!

I quit Facebook years ago because it's a shitty website full of spam.

IG has gone down the same path. It's like 70% suggested/sponsored content that's worthless at best if not disinfo, propaganda, fraud, etc.

Fash make trash.

I quit Facebook because it stopped showing updates from my friends and groups I subscribed to. I couldn't care less about Zuck's political leanings as long as his product had any use for me.

[-] xenomor@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago

20 years ago, a piece of shit like Mark Zuckerberg would have used a similarly meaningless term like “political correctness” instead. Made no sense then and makes no sense now. What is the problem exactly? Is there something wrong with having an ethical framework and applying it consistently? Or, having standards? Using this framing, any ideological viewpoint is inherently bad, including the nihilistic and hypocritical one that Zuckerberg himself is expressing here. It’s all just nonsense, and further evidence that the economy that plied this asshole with so much wealth is anything but a meritocracy.

He can just hire h1bs since they think they are so much better than American workers. Why does he care?

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 48 points 16 hours ago

LMFAO virtue signal deez nuts. Fuckerberg.

I haven't had Facebook in 10 years lol. I don't have a vote on this one.

The kind of people who would be bothered by being accused of "Virtue Signaling" are also the kind of people who are aligned with the rise of fascism and enabling of racism on the platform. But do go on acknowledging that working for Meta is itself an immoral position.

[-] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 20 points 14 hours ago

So he has confirmed that Meta is, as whole, a negative hasn't he?

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 16 hours ago

What I find delicious is that he is implicitly stating that being on any Meta platform is not virtuous.

[-] grid11@lemy.nl 2 points 9 hours ago

like in this app used by 2 billion unique users globally?

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 12 hours ago

I quit before virtue signalling was a term that people used to describe things they don't like. I wonder what he would have called it back around 2012?

[-] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 14 hours ago

Why didn't he just say anyone who quits Meta smells like poo-poo and pee-pee? That would at least be funny.
