I understand LinkedInification now. It is posting like you don’t expect to be or heard at all, because the experience is so rare you can’t distinguish it from just talking into the void. LinkedInified people act with confused terror if anyone ever replies to them with more than likes or phatic speech.

This is cruel but try it if you like on LinkedIn or twitter: simply respond substantively to the actual content. It will be hard because there is often none. The content is also extended phatic speech. They’ll react like they’ve seen a monster.

I think twitter/farcaster etc mode of public conversation does not happen in real life. Maybe many people don’t understand plugging into the hive mind. 

Public announcements 📢 seems to have similar patterns on both Twitter and LinkedIn

What? I go in the exact opposite direction. My social media use has become progressively more unhinged as I've realized nobody is having a conversation with me.

I think I'm guilty of this. I usually just daydream about what it would be like to have an authentic conversation so when it happens I just panic and don't reply.
