I mean, yeah, wearing a mask whenever you're outside sends a signal that you're virtuously helping to control the pandemic. That seems like a pretty good thing to me! I'd argue it's actually pretty critical; strong signals that everyone else is with you make it a lot easier to observe painful but necessary restrictions.

Wearing a mask outside and distanced sends a signal that you do not understand The Science.

It sends a signal that you don't want to risk asymptomatic transmission to others, even if the likelihood is low, because the cost to you in infinitesimally small.
