and activity - clearly not the clinical one.

it's been co-opted.

from 1st google response:

vir·tue sig·nal·ing
noun
the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.

Pejorative usage
In the late-2000s, many users on internet forums and social media gave "virtue-signalling" a pejorative sense when they denounced such empty acts of public commitment to unexceptionable good causes as changing Facebook profile pictures to support a cause, participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge, offering thoughts and prayers after a tragedy, celebrity speeches during award shows, and politicians pandering to constituents on ideological issues.[4]
