You can delete your LinkedIn account. This has the side benefit of improved mental health.
Joke’s on them I only use it for looking for a job
It always baffles me that people use it as an actual social network. Like, you were already fake as fuck on Facebook, what kind of psychopath do you have to be in order to be even faker than that?
I’m surprised at how well marketing works on LinkedIn. It’s my best platform for engagement, second to mastodon.
