  There's comments on LinkedIn? To me, LinkedIn is a place to post my resume and communicate with recruiters, and that's it. Why would you ever use it for anything else?

    That's literally the conversation we're having. Half of us only log in and post our job updates and the other half+ seem to sit on LinkedIn all day long posting performative bullshit and use it like your grandmother uses facebook. I mean, go log in and literally scroll down on the main page and you'll get it.

  I don't really think about the quality when I post on LI, what I do think about is whether or not my comment is likely to get reactions. Often I'll "attach" myself to one of the "open source in the Danish public sector" threads that are relatively common in my feed. Obviously I don't post something silly, but it's a very low effort area for me. Partly because I've spent a decade in the Danish public sector partly because it's a very ideology driven community where it's easy to "farm" a few reactions without much risk of pissing someone off. On the flip-side I don't really use HN for anything job related but here I only engage in things I think are interesting and that I think I can contribute to. So in a way HN is actually much more "unhealthy" for me than LI, as it's my SoMe drug of choice and I should probably spend less time here.
