    I agree with your post here so have an upvote. I think I’m realizing Lemmy is the same clone of reddit where virtue signaling is more interesting than having a Convo. At least you tried so I appreciate that

      It’s not virtue signaling to downvote someone who is acting reprehensibly.

      If your immediate instinct is “these 30 people are virtue signaling,” maybe you should reconsider your position. Maybe shooting someone who is fleeing is actually wrong and indefensible.

      If you plan to reply to insult me, save it. Use that energy for something contructive like self-reflection, or showing empathy to someone who just got brutalized by police.
