Linkedin Name duplicates

(Apologies if this is already covered. I skimmed most LinkedIn related posts and while some get close to this none seemed a direct relation, but there is so many I might have missed it!)

My industry (game development) has evolved into a silly LinkedIn quirk: Everyone updates their profile for their name to include the "Soon" arrow emoji and the next event coming up they will be at, such as "Bob Doe πŸ”œ GDC". This has led to the side effect of Dex importing them as a new LI contact every time these changes happen, that I am constantly having to find and clean up with manual merges. It would be nice if there was some extra logic that halped avoid this. Maybe if it did a "everything before an emoji" comparison on sync and then dropped the profile if there was an exact match or something?
