I'm estranged from my braindead Trumper dad (my choice) but I'm able to keep up with his unending spiral into psychosis because his rants are frequently featured on r/linkedinlunatics, so that's something
Anyone who posts on there regularly should be in prison. Researchers will one day be able to find a direct correlation between how often someone "posts their wins" on LinkedIn and how little actual valuable work they were ever doing. It is the town square for soulless corporate dweebs.
Between this and the denunciation of Hokas, Discourse Blog has engaged in the worst kind of discrimination, the kind that directly affects me (sarcasm, obviously, as I and all others in my industry deserve to be ridiculed forever and always).
LinkedIn is a scourge. The other day I saw a paid advertisement post making a psychotically attenuated analogy that too many lawyers with A-cup (yes, referring to boobs) level arguments acted as if their arguments were great by doing the legal equivalent of wearing a low-cut top (whatever that means), whereas the lawyers with double F level arguments were too busy hiding their stellar arguments under a frumpy sweater, and so if you’ve got it flaunt it? Complete with a picture of one of the female actors from Suits.
I have one of those LI accounts too, it was created automatically and the only way I could access a way to delete the account was to conjure a password that I never set up in the first place. In other words, I feel your pain.
This is my relationship with Nextdoor, which I downloaded onto my phone and then deleted but I still get a bunch of emails about people's stolen bikes or whatever.
I am old, haven't used LinkedIn for years and have forgotten my password etc. And still they hound me through the ancient means of emails, tempting me with watery non-news from ex-colleagues or people I trained a quarter century ago. I feel you.
"[M]y current browser’s automatic sign-in integration with Google" is a far worse problem than LinkedIn. Stop living your life through Google! I have a goal this year to de-Google my life as much as possible (moving from Gmail and switching from Google Fi are the big ones). More people should do this!
this would require me to largely change my entire work process for my professional career and also to convince the editorial staffs of half a dozen national publications and the IT administrators of at least one university to go on different systems so unfortunately it is not an option

To be a consistent standout there is certainly something.
It's a wild but very validating feeling to read hundreds of strangers clowning on a relative you've disowned for being a fascist shitbag

That sounds extremely annoying. My sympathies.
