Getting rebuked by a random coworker for liking a competitor’s LinkedIn post

My department is extremely short-handed. Over the last month or so, we've lost roughly half our team between people being let go, moved to other teams or leaving, and that includes losing our department head. The few of us left are doing multiple jobs at this point to keep the lights on, while also being pushed on expanding strategy and reach. I'm burnt out beyond belief. We also just had our yearly bonuses delayed despite hitting our numbers.

I tend to appreciate good content no matter who it's from. I don't think one like is making or breaking their company. I tried to answer lightly but he kept complaining, so I let him know my personal LinkedIn wasn't his business and unfriended him.

Of all the things we're dealing with, it's petty bullshit like this that has me ready to update my resume.
