It's not that it's more evil than other social media, it's just such a shit platform. Everybody is posting their performative BS to try and look professional, it's a massive circlejerk. Nothing of value posted there

    Dealing with that level of performative bullshit is genuinely agonizing to me. LinkedIn is like my idea of personal hell -- everyone, everywhere, up their own ass and completely full of shit, all the time -- and I have resolved to never have a net worth or job title that would necessitate using it.

    Follow better people. Just yesterday I saw CVE analysis, a discussion about concurrency in Postgres vs MySQL and a guide/infographic about architectures for multi region disaster recovery again with an interesting discussion in the comments.

    Fair enough, although at that point I'd just use the fediverse, which despite it's relatively small userbase actually has a lot of tech people

    True, but nowhere near as much activity. Linkedin, hackernews have much more interesting content. Lemmy and Mastodon haven't offered me much besides typical distro flame wars :( Maybe an interesting medium blog post or two, but it always seems to devolve in a rust, arch or AI discussion.
