This is actually a pretty good arguement. As for me virtue signaling I didn't notice that, but even if that is true on some level, I don't really think it's hypocritical to remind people not to tell other people what to do, despite that being telling someone what to do.
Also some more refined thoughts about what I meant: I get that twitter is a cesspool, but everyone at least here knows that. I just thought that was a really weird topic to bring up on this post out of the blue. Yes everyone knows it's run by the Nazi Man. It's not very constructive to fixate on that in a community where everyone is already of that opinion, because it turns the conversation into a circlejerk. Yes obviously people will upvote someone calling twitter a collection of Nazi bootlickers on Lemmy and I'm tired of that. Because it is virtue signaling is what it is and everyone who upvotes it is also taking part in that and feeling good about it for some weird reason. It's not something people should do, because that's not the constructive part of criticizing Twitter or Elon, it's just the echo chamber part of it where nothing of importance happens, instead people who are part of it will spend their time with reinforcing eachother's already pretty well reinforced ideas.
Lemmy loves a comforting circle jerk socially validating their self-righteousness. They also like rhetoric reminding us to punch Nazis, even though we know most of us are limp-wristed keyboard warriors just giving our justice boners sweet stimulation.
What is it about people disliking nazis that upsets you?
