'LinkedIn'

LinkedIn is as much Social Media as talking with your manager is Socializing.

It's really plastic and fake feeling there, more so than anywhere else.

Since when does "plastic and fake" means it's not social media?

yes but it doesn't always feel like it.

LinkedIn feels like Uncanny Valley social media.

Like there are Alternates there trying to imitate human interactions.

I mean it's a far better place to network and interact with professional statuses and companies than other social networks. I like the Fediverse but I also have a work related presence on LinkedIn.

Let's not pretend that the degenerate comment section in YouTube is peak high society though.

Or really any place where strangers mostly zing each other. It's just like the opposite extreme of linked in
