I really, really don't like LinkedIn these days. Just 🤮. The crossover of business and personal lives just isn't working for me. Who thinks, "I'm going to propose marriage this weekend, and (bonus!) I can squeeze out a stinking LinkedIn grift from it, too!"
What LinkedIn says vs. what I think LinkedIn is actually saying with this prompt 90% of the time, when they display this prompt after you leave a comment.
Why would I want to "lead the conversation" about someone else's sad news?
Da ist es also passiert: #LinkedIn ist das erste Netzwerk ueberhaupt, das ein persoenliches Profil von mir nicht nur gesperrt hat, sondern komplett vom Netz genommen hat.
Here is the thing: I won't trust any of your fancy LinkedIn charts and inforgraphics, unless they come with a link to the raw data they were built upon. Your audience has the right to draw their own conclusions.
#Meta should just offer people in #Europe (& the rest of the planet) a simple option: either opt in to have your personal information sold to advertisers, or pay a fee to use #Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp & #Threads.
It works for #YouTube (I pay them to avoid ads), as well as other news organizations. It’s really that simple.
@madargon Using their services is a choice. If you do not like or trust them, do not use their platforms (it is that simple really).
Years ago I had issues with #Facebook’s ad policies (I think they code named it beacon) so I stopped using their services & eventually deleted my account.
I did the same for #LinkedIn as well. If #YouTube ever gets to the place where I do not find value in the platform, I will leave.
These services are option, not critical for my life.
I received more than 20 job ads from #Luxoft recruiters alone via email and #LinkedIn. This year already 5, but the oldest dates back to 2013. I must say they are persistent...
@Gina I deleted mine years ago, no regrets. So many nonsense that I received even in private messages. Saves so much time for me to not having to respond/read these things that I use for other stuff :)
Gestern kam ein LinkedIn-Ranking raus fuer die reichweitenstaerksten Accounts im deutschsprachigen Raum... ganz ehrlich? Ich hau da ein dickes Ei drauf und es interessiert mich null ob ich da 5000 oder 5 bin.
Aber vor Krank Fehlen zu stehen, obwohl er 8x so viele Follower:innen hat. Ich feier es so ein wenig... zumal das auch ganz wunderbar zeigt, wie er an diese Follower:innen kommt 🤡
Thinking about spending the whole #gaad on #linkedin waiting for companies to post about how much they care about #accessibility and then check if they practice what they preach
Let me know if you think this is cool or something bullies would do
@nextcloud hat in Namen einer Koalition von Dutzenden europäischer Cloud-Anbieter im Novemver 2021 eine Beschwerde gegen #Microsoft beim Kartellamt eingereicht. Angesichts der enorme Marktmacht des Produkts #Microsoft365 ist es ein Skandal, dass Microsoft 365 aktuell nicht unter der #DMA fällt. Dort sind nur zwei Gatekeeper aufgelistet, nämlich #LinkedIn und #Windows.
I just went on #LinkedIn (killllll meeeee) to be told that people who use LinkedIn premium are 2.6 times more likely to be hired than people who don’t…
Which, I would guess, translates as people who are paying these ludicrous monthly subs, mostly because they are trying to get hired, are 2.6 times more likely to people who mostly just aren’t trying to get hired.
And that, my friends, sounds like pretty wobbly evidence of value for upwards of £20/month when you may not even be getting paid.
Buckle up, the invasion of Chief AI officers is for real! Turns out, all these people I am soewhat related to, on LinkedIn. I have blurred their private info out of respect, but it is what it is, friends. 🤯
