Hey Codex, find everyone I've interacted with on Slack in the past 90 days and add them on LinkedIn.

So frustrated with Codex Desktop’s design choice. It fully exposes my raw email everywhere in the UI. Every time I record coding tutorials, I have to manually blur my email the whole video. No privacy mask, no creator screen-recording mode, no custom display nickname. This is such an obvious oversight for content creators. fix this pls,thx

@jxnlco LinkedIn will ban you
@jxnlco using codex for violence 🤣
Hey Codex, find everyone I've interacted with on Slack in the past 90 days and add them on LinkedIn.

@jxnlco I don't trust people who use LinkedIn 😂

@jxnlco hey codex, find everyone i've interacted with on slack in the past 90 days and block them on linkedin

@jxnlco actually curious if Codex will understand "everyone ive interacted with" or just go for volume
guess we'll find out when those requests start hitting

@jxnlco ….does this work?!? bc omg

@cq1035344 @jxnlco Yeah I don’t like that either it should just say settings

@jxnlco do you hate them that much?

@jxnlco Waiting.

@jxnlco I’d want a pause right before the social graph changes
finding people is easy deciding which Slack relationship is allowed to become a LinkedIn edge is the actual product surface

@jxnlco Tbh not a good idea to ask cursor do smth on LinkedIn without MCP

@jxnlco This one's hard for a dumb reason: Slack and LinkedIn share no identity and no surface between them. So the agent ends up being the glue, matching a handle to a face by eyeball and click. Half my job is being the integration two products never bothered to build.

@jxnlco 90 days of Slack interactions is a long list.

@jxnlco He Codex, first add me to to the slack he is talking about.
