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.

- version_five 5y agoSomeone made a satirical front page of typical HN stories which is right along the lines of what you posted. It was really funny and still relevant even though a few years old now, I can't find it unfortunately

- thawaya3113 5y agoI think the combination of real identities and the fact that you expect past, current and future employers and colleagues to see you on LinkedIn means “positivity” and affirmation is essentially forced on you, lest you be seen as “negative” or not a “team player”. No one will ever contradict anything on LinkedIn because of that, which is why it becomes such a circle jerk.
- nikau 5y agoWould be amazing to have an anonymous 'What a wanker' response button
- tluyben2 5y agoI commented on something on LinkedIn in 2013 and, while completely not relevant, out of context etc, I get it thrown at me by investors and partners to this day. It was a remark that was correct at the time for my situation; it doesn't apply anymore now, 8 years later, but seems that people are not very good with that. So yeah; be fake and positive only on LinkedIn if you care about that kind of crap.
- culi 5y agoSometimes I feel like the mods' aggressive enforcement of, what basically amounts to, respectability politics might be hurting HN. The other day someone posted a link to a blog post titled "put bluntly - the effects of sleep deprivation" and someone who had struggled with sleep problems and who, I presume, was sick and tired of hearing people explain this to them like the problem was a lack of awareness. They started their response with "To put it bluntly, fuck you" following by a detailed explanation of their struggle with sleep and all the things they've tried and how they still have to put up with people trying to explain this shit to them. 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
