Heck I’ve seen some nastiness on LinkedIn with people’s government name and employer right next to it.

Real names don’t do much to prevent online assholery.






And to that point LinkedIn makes an active effort (in my experience) to highlight the most extreme political comments (I assume for the same reasons as any other social network- anger is a simple formula to fuel engagement).

It insists on sending me push notifications of the most bizarre conspiracy theories, even after I muted the accounts. Super frustrating when all you want is basically an electronic business card catalog.
