> Of all the social networks, LinkedIn has the greatest built-in policing mechanism: its users' fear for their own reputation.

I've seen so much blatant bigotry and thinly veiled sexism on LinkedIn that I'm having a lot of trouble relating to this one.

> You don't see trolling; you don't see fighting; no one will give you points for being shitty to others.

Same here, I've seen plenty of shitty self-serving or downright condescending comments get rewarded with "claps" or whatever emoji they use on there.



Unfortunately it's slowly turning into another Facebook content-wise.

That and the Business Insider links. Does everyone else pay for a subscription or something?


Bigotry and Sexism aren't reputation-threatening for large swaths of the business world.


If true, kind of supports my point that "LinkedIn has the greatest built-in policing mechanism" isn't very accurate.
