Every community slides into its own stereotype like becoming a caricature of itself, but it's not objectively a bad thing, just strange to outsiders while the regulars are just fine with HN as it is. Oops, I mean LinkedIn.
The mods took the comment down right away of course. But it made me think about how much the enforcement of rules like these might just be reinforcing the echo chamber. Sometimes you need to be yelled at to realize how out of line you are. There was another post where a woman shared her experiences with sexism and having to face death threats and being doxxed because some incels didn't like how she responded to a man hitting on her. Half the comments were questioning her or blaming her for "seeking it out" or whatever. It was really painful to watch others try to respond to comments like that and sound "respectable" and trying to engage with their talking points. It made me wonder about people who post those comments and can go on being engaged with and never actually told how much of a fuckface they're being
Now that I think about it, I kinda feel like this is a major problem with LinkedIn as well. I don't believe in bullying, but I think socialization can be an important tool sometimes
But you can't spell impossible without POSSIBLE.

No one will ever contradict anything on LinkedIn because of that, which is why it becomes such a circle jerk.
