I don't think it would work on a platform on which people can organize to bully. That's an advantage of HN, it is hard to build such a community because of the lack of communication between users out of topics.
Nothing prevents hn users from getting to know each other and communicate. I attribute lack of evident destructive mobbing on hn to adequate moderation workforce.
Oh, the power of small inconveniences.
I thought it was the virtue signalling humble brags that were the bane of linkedin. Am I the only one who thinks linkedin is like the looking glass version of Twitter? Twitter: "So and so is so awful, gnash, boycott shame! Have you read my blog?" LinkedIn: "That sooo resonates with me! You're such a insightful thought leader, have you read my blog?"
Totally agree. The virtue signaling in my feed is so insufferable that I stopped reading it years ago. It has basically become twitter with the vitriol replaced by fake positivity.

Is there anyone eating that crap or people are just mimicking whatever others are doing?
Yeah, I've always wondered the same. Maybe recruiters?

I do about 10 a day.
I find LinkedIn really cringy. And I haven't seen ONE post there that actually added value to my life. It is also toxic as hell. But I know people who got employment offers from LinkedIn. So it adds value in that sense. I just mute and block those influencers. And check LinkedIn maybe twice a week. One of the things I cannot find any excuse for is how fake people are. They are behaving in a fake manner even when they…
Guess, it's like Twitter. If you follow the right people you get good content. The only thing bothering me on LinkedIn are the recruiters and that got much better in the last years. Most of the time I use it to stay in touch with old co-workers and to syndicate my articles, which sometimes (2-5 times a year) leads to new clients.
That's the bane of social media platforms where engagement is low (Twitter suffers from this too). There are very few content creators, and especial on a professional network, there isn't enough content generated to share daily, so to generate content, the platform needs to dig deeper into the bottom of the barrel and show you second-level engagement (ie friend of yours commented or liked some rando's content).
Shameless Medium loginwalling is the Bane of Hacker News.

That mute and unfollow button though. I do about 10 a day.
I've muted a ton of people I don't know at all because their rabid self-promotion or clickbait would keep showing up in my feed. But it is usually the same list of friends liking or sharing that content.
