False dichotomy b/c you can *not* signal at all. Plus, you are taking the language too literally! The accusation is that the person’s objective is to look good vs to be good.

Recently heard the phrase "praying in public" from
@jordanbpeterson. I think it's relevant. Real difference between doing good and doing things that make you look good. Which is why we're saying "virtue-signaling" and not "being virtuous", right?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Should that social media be VK mobile where one can only listen 40 minutes of music per day, I can totally see them turning into Orcs.

Nonsense. The alternative to signaling virtue is being virtuous and shutting up. Not signaling not-virtue, but instead not signaling at all.

...you know who did tons of virtue signalling? The commies. They signalled it all day long. Maybe the problem is that virtue signalling is a way to avoid virtue practicing. You ever considered that?

The "virtue signaling" critique is usually in relation to willful blindness of the topic. "They're only saying AGI is 500 years away for social reasons, they didn't actually think about the topic analytically, they're virtue signaling"

Surely you could, at least in theory, signal honestly, whether it relates to your ethical virtues or flaws.

When people say that someone is signalling virtue they probably mean they are expressing charity/love. Even small actions according to this virtue are greatly rewarded on our time and this makes it really easy to follow it, but it's not the only virtue out there to consider.

Signalling non-virtue might be preferable e.g. 'beware wolfs' or I understand signalling wrong way here
