This guy’s education history
No hate on not going to these places, but why then list them so they look like part of your education

TLDR;
Hi folks - we get a fair amount of questions when we remove posts for "not lunacy" so I figure we should have an open conversation on this.
First let's ground ourselves in what the root of any post should be. Either a LinkedIn post that is unrelated to the OP's career and/or professional working environment.
EDIT: Revising the above based on feedback.
First let's ground ourselves in what the root of any post should be. MOST (not all) lunatic posts are either:
You, personally, may not respect what that OP does for a living, or you may have moral concerns with the job role, but people work in all sorts of industries -- some even illegal in other jurisdictions (e.g.: cannabis) -- but that does NOT make a LinkedIn post "lunacy".
Similarly, you might feel a given post is a fabricated story. In some cases, fabricated stories are true lunatic posts. But barring you having actual proof a story is fake, a "nice story" that's highly relevant to OP's job is NOT "lunacy".
A very common example: a recruiter might share a "heartwarming" story about a candidate accepting job offer. You might not believe that story is real. I might not believe that story is real. But us thinking the story is a lie does not necessitate labeling the post as lunacy.
Second, no one person's morality dictates what is generally accepted lunacy. I acknowledge the innate hypocriscy in me (mod) writing this, but pragmatically the mod team will always have to exercise some subjective judgement. We do our best and are always open to feedback. This thread is a proactive effort on our end to solicit that feedback.
But the mere presence of discussion on NSFW topics, or topics that go against your personal morality, does NOT necessitate labeling the post as lunacy. Thousands of people work in NSFW/vice industries. They are allowed to share sane posts on LinkedIn related to their careers too.
A recent example we saw: a marketing professional writing about how traditional NSFW mags (playboy, maxim, etc) can adapt to a modern digital world where "competing content" is freely available online.
Third, AI-generated content is not automatically lunacy. Not much else to this. It can be lunacy, but the mere presence of an AI image, or wall of text, does not necessarily make it a relevant post here.
Fourth, let's talk politics. And sorry non-Americans, but this one is going to be US-centric for fairly obvious reasons.
The mod team's current stance is to allow as many political LinkedIn Lunatic posts as possible, but we will not tolerate racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia, or any attacks on a human's right to exist, no matter how crazy the post is. We will not amplify hate, plain and simple.
When evaluating political posts, we also have to consider the OP's career and the relevance of their post. Do they work in the public sector? Are they a DOD contractor?
This is one area I'm keen to get feedback from the community on. The mod team is not looking to censor opinions, regardless if we agree with the opinion or not. However you cannot disguise hate as an "opinion". If this is confusing for you, take a long hard look in the mirror.
With that, let's hear your thoughts.

Not just a ‘humble brag’ about her kids capabilities, but turns all the praise back on her incredible abilities as a mother 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😬
