I find LinkedIn to be the worse of the social media sites. My feed is full of wannabe “thought leaders”, people posting about a meaningless vendor certificate they got, recruiters giving advice, people who can’t get a job or were recently laid off, etc.

But now, politics is getting involved because people are having government job offers rescinded and the entire federal government is in a free fall like a 3rd world banana republic.

Block them, it's easy. I have only close friends and coworkers that I don't hate on that site.

you'll be spending every day blocking people, speaking from experience. Your dam can only push back so much.

For me, it's quite addictive unfortunately, even though I agree that it's pretty dull.

I have seen an increasing amount of Trump non sense popping up more and more from the VC community the past 6 months on LI

that's because VC and billionaires know when a party is winning, and when the other party is unvotable for 10+ years.
