No, you’ll just reach out to those people through direct contact. If LI is your only link to someone you aren’t really networked with them.

and their email isn't available or their phone number changed. tough luck. maybe you didn't really network with them.

LinkedIn is more easier IMO, don't understand why we need to make things harder for yourself.

Fully agree, its just a spam platform now filled to the brim with AI/Human slop.
Curate your connections, yeet anyone who is posting slop and add people that make quality spicy posts you enjoy.

It's that simple to make a LinkedIn feed have posts and comments you enjoy!

Nobody posts anything “quality” on there whatsoever. Its complete pablum.

I imagine if the posts on LinkedIn inspire someone, that they probably are they kind of person to have a lot of “live laugh love” word art on their walls as well.

Is there a switch to turn off the social media/posting element on linkedin altogether? I don't see why I should be spending my time engaging with their algorithm just so it's bearable to use
There isn’t and you shouldn’t.

Probably a good idea for a chrome extension actually

Just don't open the home page except to navigate to the specific thing you need and when you do, don't look at the slop? The social media/posting element of linkedin is totally disconnected from the useful part of the site and you can just ignore it.
Remind me what the useful part is again?
That sounds exhausting and pointless.
I have a 25+ year career history with lots of contacts, and I deleted my LI account years ago. I do not regret it one bit; in fact I wish I had done it sooner.
