>and virtue signalling
I'm not disagreeing as I don't know what exact things you're talking about, but I find "virtue signalling" and "communication" to be very similar terms these days. From statement to statement I'm not sure what anyone means by that phrase anymore.

- duxup 2y agoI like to not assume the worst, more so on HN, but I do run into a lot of situations elsewhere on the internet where "virtue signaling" just means "someone said something I don't like". But generally I do like to wait to understand specifically what someone means before assuming.
- Dansvidania 2y agoso how should it be called, in good faith?
- duxup 2y agoThat's almost what I'm asking, knowing what they mean would help that some. It's almost peak irony when I saw people repeatedly tweeting about someone else's "virtue signaling". I honestly don't know what the difference is between whatever they thought the first person was doing vs. their action.
- ubermonkey 2y agoThey should be clearer about what they mean.
- littlestymaar 2y agoI personally have no idea, because I don't even know what's the good faith meaning of this phrase.
- WolfeReader 2y agoThe post above what you replied to already had a good synonym: "communication".
