Make LinkedIn Posts Sound Human — Banish Corporate Cringe & Buzzwords
The problem: AI announcement posts read like automated press releases: delighted-to-announce, game-changing, transformative journey. Your network scrolls right past them.
The fix: SlopTrim strips the buzzword armor and leaves the genuine news — the round you raised, the launch you shipped, the people you thank — in your own voice.

- 2Name real numbers and real people — specifics are what get shared.
- 3One emoji maximum; zero is fine.
- 4Write like you'd tell a former colleague over coffee, not like a press release.
- 5Cut every phrase you've seen in someone else's announcement this week.

Frequently asked questions
▸Won't my post sound too blunt without the excitement words?
Genuine excitement survives the trim — it lives in the news and the specifics. What gets cut is the borrowed phrasing every other announcement already used.
▸Does it keep my @mentions and hashtags?
Yes. Names, handles, and tags are treated as facts and preserved exactly.
▸Can it fix engagement-bait endings?
It flags recap endings like “exciting times ahead” and “watch this space” and deletes them, so your post ends on substance.
