No, it's not. Don't be so intellectually lazy.

The author of the comment higher up is describing a person who is boycotting X because they are strongly against its stewardship and moderation but regardless continues to find ways to indulge themselves in the content produced by users of X, for other users of X.

How else should we describe the position held? It's clearly not entirely principled and veers directly into performative action (i.e. virtue signalling).

I admit I'm not nor have been a Twitter/X user so am able to look at the situation without a sense of entitlement or attachment.
