    I believe in “free speech” but if you leave my platforms you’re virtue signalling.

    Or it could be your social media sites are full of death of the internet AI garbage and bullshit.

    I’m not “virtue signaling” I’m tired. I’m tired of the ads.

    I’m tired of the algorithm intentionally fueling flame wars.

    I’m tired of INESCAPABLE “meme pages,” run by spam bots, that just recycle the same tired shit over and over and over again.

    I’m tired of the THREE different video systems that are inexplicably not interoperable. Reels, Facebook Live, and video Instagram posts all showing up in my timeline but all are part of separate systems. Meanwhile, if I share a link to a YouTube video, it gets suppressed by the almighty algorithm. Because how dare I show my followers/friends something they’d might like to see if it takes their eyeballs away from Facebook.

    Finally, I’m tired of companies selling people like me down the river to score political points with chuds.

      What I love most about the phrase “virtue signaling” is that when people accuse you of it they are themselves virtue signaling.

    so he admits it’s virtuous… just that he thinks some people are doing it disingenuously…?

      I recently commented somewhere that the more Elon Musk leans into MAGA the more he looks like a Sith lord and the affliction appears to be hitting Mark Zuckerberg too lately.

      “It seems free speech is back on the menu.” - paraphrased, but that’s basically what he said. The Democrats were keeping free speech down!
