Every time I log in, I unfollow everyone on my feed. LinkedIn is great if you don't follow anyone. I've done the same thing with other social media.

On Twitter, I follow exactly one person. I don't even see all his comments on my feed. But I do see things like fights, light porn content (dicks, prostitutes), Musk trolling... And sometimes, I feel the urge to react to trolls or argue with people. Not a good social media in my opinion. I'm sure it could be vastly improved with a better feed algorithm, and better moderation.

This is what got me to leave Facebook definitely. I could not follow the only family member I cared about. Facebook just wouldn't show me their posts.

Twitter forced "recommended content" onto me recently. Now I just visit /notifications directly. I cut the feed out entirely.

There’s conspiritainment on LinkedIn now? Holy hell.

I haven’t logged into that clunker in a long time so I haven’t seen it. Our sales team is forced to use it. Poor souls.

Not only are there conspiracy theorists on the LinkedIn feed, also there is no censoring or warning like on FB. It's a conspiracy theorist's paradise ..

Worse, it’s coming from your office, your higher ups. Scary. Promotions tied to whether you agree with their “Biden caused the 2008 financial crisis” theory or if you are a “patriot” for attacking our capital. Don’t get me started with EU conspiracies about how Ukraine war beginning was an inside job.

Well, if it's "from above" the correct play is: yessir i am a $patriot please increase my $compensation to one befitting a fellow holder of correct opinions

Not always. We’ve seen a generation choose the door instead.

Not many, be honest. Most of us need an income.

I was referring to The Great Resignation (tm) but yes, you are correct, leave one place to roll the dice someplace else. It’s not greener, just different shades of dead and patches, with or without proper gardening tools.

Interesting, this might explain something someone started to talk to me about recently & I was just kinda like whatever - he’s not trump nor half as senile or incompetent as what conservatives make him out to be.

At this point I’d love a bill introducing max terms. Term limits. You can get re-elected but only so many times before you’re done. Do away with salaries for life “as compensation for your service”. They don’t need it if they are pulling in millions from enterprises, endorsements, book deals, merch, speaking fees in excess of $50,000.

Senate, you get 4 max terms. Reps, you get 6. SCOTUS, 4 and term limits of 6 years per term. Something to fix this professional career politicians we see like McConnell, Biden, Kennedy, Cruz, etc. The world moves too fast for one lifetime spent legislatively eliminating rights of people or bringing back “the good ol days”.

all social media trends to clickbate eventually.

like how everything evolves into crabs

LinkedIn is a horrible place because I'll see posts from the worst people I've ever met about tips and tricks on "how to be better at X". It grates on my soul.

Its because those people aren't working, so they have time to write articles at how to be better at the stuff they don't actually do.

The rest of us that are already good at X, don't have the time or energy to write articles about how to be better at it because we are too busy doing it. And when we finally get done for the day, we want to do something else with our lives except go back and write about how to be better at it.

I'm just too busy over here commenting on HN :)

Really? I only added people I actually know and it seems like a much better facebook - it only shows me relevant information and what people I know from work are doing.
