> destroy, their own LIVELIHOOD

Do you have examples of such occasions when the linkedin post was actually the cause?

My postings on LinkedIn have definitely had direct consequences in my professional life.

I consider them all good because ultimately if you get upset by the way I behave then that's probably going to be true if we work together also.

Sometimes people like to tell me that I'm very authentic and it's clear that I'm not trying to suck up to anyone, which they respect. Some people quietly retreat from me and I find out later that it's because I hurt their feelings inadvertently by shitting on AI or calling out web development as largely being inefficient in resources or something.

		Love this response, and as some one who does perhaps a bit too much spending/wasting time on other types of social media, including here, I've made a conscious decision to post on LinkedIn more. And it's such a difference. It forces me to slow down and think about a lot of things. The most important being: Is this even worth posting AT ALL? And then, okay -- how can I say this in a future-proof way that both appeals to normies and tech folk like myself. I feel like I'll be doing better the more I post to places like that, and maybe less here?

No, but as I've said below, this isn't about what will actually strongly happen, but what I think people think. I could be wrong here.

There was a bit of a scandal at my employer some years back and IIRC it was kicked off by someone posting/boosting some really questionable stuff on LinkedIn.

Amusingly, this was someone high up in HR.
