I kind of agree with your point. LinkedIn is fake. But all platforms are.

I tried using Twitter, but I don't have words to describe how horrible it is. So much fake people and posts. This threads are incredibly annoying and everything feels like robotic and without soul. Also so many people without opinion and just riding the wave..

Don't get me wrong.. I am not hating Twitter only, I am hating all of them - Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram.. I have accounts, but don't really use them and I don't see how someone can make a meaningful connection there.

I started using blogging site, as u mentioned and find this one- Dev.to the best one.

Is it the platform that is fake or the cultures? There are certainly real people, posting real things on social platforms and the platform does not somehow make their content fake?

I doubt you meant it that way! But great to ensure we're framing shit the way it really is. As cultures we follow and express the fact that personally we all often forego our authenticity for perceived gain.
