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.
