9. Even LinkedIn has gotten bad
Wed Dec 1, 2021, 12:28 AM
Dec 2021

I was on LinkedIn yesterday and stumbled on a posting about DeSantis pissing off Biden due to Disney lifting their restrictions. The hostility of some of the posters there (all Trumpites) was astounding. A couple of them actually were threatening (a "former boxer" who offered free knuckle sandwiches to liberal posters there) and a lot of "FU" comments. I really showed restraint in not posting anything. Some of the posters were pushing vaccine lies and one commented about Florida having the lowest covid rate right now. I was tempted to post the overall deaths per 100k residents from covid since the pandemic began (Florida is very high) but didn't.

I actually reported several threatening and crude posts and received emails from LinkedIn stating they were deleted. I hoped they banned some of them too.
