It’s safe to assume without extraordinary evidence that anything posted on LinkedIn is at best glorified reality, but most likely complete fabrication. There’s zero incentive for anybody to be truthful.

99% of my LinkedIn feed these days is AI slop from people and companies I have never heard of. IDK why anyone looks at the anything other than job listings on LinkedIn. Everything else is garbage.

Have you found any social medium on internet that actually empowers honesty?

I’d say closest would maybe be early internet style niche forums or other closed (torrenting?) communities where your reputation is somewhat correlated with your contributions.

Yes! I follow bearblog discover feed. That's also quite good

Just not using it. I don't miss LinkedIn as a social media site at all, and only see the feed on my way to the job listings
