Maybe the lesson is that social media works well when focused on particular topics?
I've just noticed when I join specific subreddits that are more oriented around a specific hobby, the conversations never get political and tend to be mostly civil. This would be things like a specific video game, woodworking, Kotlin, etc. But if I go some place more "regional" where things can get political, like a city, boom - it goes off the rails really quickly, and requires a ton of moderation.
It just seems like LinkedIn is naturally oriented to talking about specific topics that don't get political. Thus, there's probably a fraction of the potential abuse.
I'm not sure there's anything specifically about LinkedIn that's particularly great. I find it mostly trash. It's just not political trash, so isn't such an easy place to manipulate people.
