It's nice to see some pushback against those who want to kick the out of the . Who demand their instance be blocked. Who berate them for platforming voices that are insufficiently concerned about trans issues sometimes etc.

Some of us have derisively called this attitude for a while now. It's not empathy as much as that won't really help anyone. We think trying to remove some people/groups from the conversation is appropriately called . FYI.

@heiseonline ich fress meinen Hut, wenn die Ergebnisse davon nicht *rein zufällig* für was anderes, deutlich kurzfristiger monetarisierbares nutzbar sind. + = weird.

, also known as Moral Grandstanding, is the behaviour of expressing virtuous (good) sounding language that does not align with the persons or organisations real intentions (AKA lying).

Moral grandstanding is as common as the profit agenda when economists, politicians & businesses are signaling their plans to mitigate the social & environmental problems that their organisations are causing

World Bank, Ajay Banga, said “My view is the World Bank’s vision has to evolve to say, yes, we will create a world free of poverty, but on a livable planet, meaning we tackle climate, pandemics, fragility, food insecurity, things that reduce our ability to have quality of life, and to have hope and optimism....But poverty and climate campaigners said few concrete measures had been agreed at the summit that would make a difference now" theguardian.com/world/2023/jun

Online folk lies & BS in general.

Some, not so smart folk, lie on social media (who knew) as they do offline. Even too themselves

Without going into detail why they do this, here is an effective psychological heuristic to mitigate online folk BS (context ). Give all online folk the benefit of our doubts. Take them at their word (face value). If their words are scientifically BS, so be it.

If their "wit" is actually unethical grandstanding, so be it.

parece facil conocer a otras personas pero puedo dar fe que eso no es así (puedes tener ganas en un inicio pero se pasan a los 2 o 3 años 😅 )
las publicaciones que "critican" a esas apps y a los usuarios generalmente tienden a generalizar un perfil de usuario y se desestima a una minoria incurriendo en un o un "postureo virtuoso" buscando un inexistente, tipico de "gente joven" 🤷‍♂️
o peor aún "gente de izquierda" 😅

I'm in the mood to do some serious virtue-signaling on Mastodon tomorrow.

Let me paw through the old virtue toolbox tonight in preparation.

When on the lousy bird app, I saw many phobic and truth-warping messages from far right misinforming farmers. Often they'd use the phrase 'virtue-signalling' to disregard a valid point or ethical concern about animal/ecological care ... It's fitting that the lens has turned on their own virtue signalling.

Moral grandstanding - To grandstand is to turn one's contribution to public discourse into a vanity project. 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/fu

I'm about something...
I've been getting a fair amount of here on from people on the far far far left, and almost none from the right, or the far right, or even the far far right.
Now, I'm pretty clear (or so I think, anyway) that I do not care to associate with extremists from either side.
, I'm - in the sense that I don't believe we should spend money we don't have.
, I'm pretty -of-the-road, maybe a bit . I believe that everyone, regardless of their choices (or not-choices), should have the same rights as everyone else, and be able to live in peace, as long as they're not causing direct harm to anyone else.
I am, therefore, confused as to why people whose default mode of involves , , of , and for would want to connect with me. I do not wish to associate with people who only wish to further divide this country with their and .
If I have ideas that are different from theirs, or try to ask questions about their stance and point of view, all that will happen is they will turn around and block me, then report me for doing <InsertEvilThingHere> when all I was doing was clarifying their position so I know how to continue consideration of their position.
It's happened far too many times in the past.
Fist off, , isn't or . Your hate-filled rants really belong here, in my opinion. That's what and and are for.
This is supposed to be a place where ideas can be exchanged, discussed, and mulled without fear of condemnation - where someone isn't attacked for their thoughts, or for asking questions.
There's a Mister Badger (with a number after it) who is an example of this. This person's obvious hatred of anyone who isn't as far Left (I believe they call it "progressive", but that's for another post and another time) as they are. I'm NOT that far left, and would almost certainly be grouped in with Nazis and Klansjerks by this person.
So why did they reach out with a connection request? I don't know. Maybe they're looking for a new victim to browbeat so they can feel morally superior? Maybe they think that if I see enough hatred of <insert any group here> I'll start to feel the same? (That's the same tactic used by WS groups, Nazis, and the Klan, by the way...)
I'm just unsure of the motives, there, and that's why I rejected that connection. I've rejected others for similar reasons.
Perhaps I need to re-visit my profile and make it clear that I don't support hate, no matter which side of which aisle it comes from.

Red Team Strategy: Stop calling it and start calling it being ⁠—something your supporters actually understand and your detractors actually won't want to be. Needn't ALWAYS use new word for old things.

I hate it when streamers/influencers virtue signal. Particularly through something they deem "controversial" or a hot button topic. All you are really doing is making yourself look goofy, you just feel smart. Cause people listen. Maybe I'm jealous? 🤔

Here's your unfriendly weekly reminder that visually impaired people post images, cannot always include accurate alt text, and refusing to boost posts with images that lack that text isn't solidarity. It's . Fuck you. We don't exist to help you virtue signal.

UT, including highly in-demand UT Austin, has banned TikTok from its Wi-Fi networks, citing information riskiness. 1) So I assume blocking the entire Web is next? and 2) students use TikTok on their phones, which generally don’t need Wi-Fi. I don’t know exactly what type of theater to call this: ? Also seems like the far right’s answer to .

I wear glasses, & fog them up & i can't see. These 3Ms have foam on a bendy strip, creating a seal to prevent fogging. Great, except they narrow your nasal passages & make breathing harder. Getting a cut & color the other day & wearing mask, I started to feel lightheaded. No one else in the place had mask on (). Fully vaxxed, I felt OK removing it for a while, but kind of felt that I was for wearing it in 1st place & a hypocrite for taking it off. Thoughts?
