I see a lot of talk about "virtue signalling" when it comes to mask wearing. The implication is that those who wear a mask outside do so to broadcast their left-leaning world view to others, and those who don't wear a mask outside are taking a neutral stance and not broadcasting anything at all. But I think the reality is that non-mask wearers are also wanting to send a signal: something like "I'm not a sheep. I think for myself. You can't tell me what to do". Is there a name for this kind of signalling?

I call it "vice signalling".
