Oh hey! I just had my first social media post to be taken down from any platform ever, on LinkedIn. Yay! My post about the flabbergasting amounts of racism in "AI" violated their "professional" community guideline. Indeed. Its quite professional to be as racist as possible, but not professional to call it out. Totally makes sense.

@timnitGebru ugh, that's ridiculous. How it's 2023 and we haven't learned that "decorum" supports oppressors is beyond me. 🙄 Good luck getting them to actually accept a spam report though. 🤷‍♂️

@sjkilleen @timnitGebru It is particularly hypocritical on #LinkedIn's part since decorum left LinkedIn long ago near as I can tell.

I **routinely** see racist and discriminatory comments on there - and, even though I blocked many now-former colleagues making those comments, LinkedIn still pushes that trash to me.

Probably high time that I just dumped LinkedIn, frankly.
