LinkedIn is the only social media thing I’m on, apart from this, and purely to keep in touch with a few people I might lose contact with otherwise. I culled 75% of my links when I retired, as most of them I’d never met. I’ve only ever posted on it once, to tell my remaining links that I’d retired.
LinkedIn says “The mission of LinkedIn is simple: connect the world's professionals to make them more productive and successful.”
Where the **** these posts fit into that ‘mission’ is beyond me. Clearly the platform has no moderation. I have no doubt you could find equally horrible anti Islam stuff on there too. Usually you only see posts associated with the people you are linked with. The quality of these has declined over the years, now we see a lot of stuff about personal health, kids educational achievements and other stuff which is increasingly irrelevant to professional networking.
Think I’ll kick it in the head now. Ruben can go **** himself.
