Friends, acquaintances, and family don't need to be told "my DMs are open," and I always cringe at people tagging their employers, bosses, etc. in these types of posts. Maybe I'm old school, I don't know, but these attention grabbing posts are bizarre to me. Just move on - friends and family will find out when you, you know, talk to them or just update your Linkedin.
Sounds to me like your problem is with social media generally. Since I've been on Facebook in it's earliest days, almost 20 years, people have used social media to share news of career changes.
