@Em0nM4stodon I would love to not need LinkedIn but it feels really crucial to my career growth

@Imlordofthering

My current plan is to ditch linkedin in the next year or so and have my professional portfolio and official contact method be a self hosted website + email server, it really stopped being useful after my third position when companies started seeking me out specifically

@panegyr I'm almost to that point. I'd like to give a conference talk and publish something worthwhile before I feel fully comfortable getting rid of it.

@panegyr @Imlordofthering I've seen a lot of static pages built on Hugo that I definitely want to create. Would love to make that my "business card" of sorts.

I'm still not quite ready to give up on my LinkedIn yet, but I like your energy on that though. Hopefully one day I can get to that point β€‹

@chmod777

Personally I’m more inclined to make something using raw html but that’s just me being a stickler for efficiency

@panegyr writing in HTML reminds me of my middle school Angelfire pages I used to create πŸ˜‚β€‹

@Imlordofthering @Em0nM4stodon I'm in the same boat. Professionally, it's helped me network and land me my current position, as well as keep me in the market.

That being said, the state of LinkedIn is such a hodge podge of wanna-be influencers and garbage posts (thinking r/LinkedInLunatics) that I find it hard to take seriously sometimes.

@chmod777 @Em0nM4stodon I just can't stand that it is acceptable to put two carriage returns after every sentence. I want to dig my eyes out.

@Imlordofthering @Em0nM4stodon I have a love/hate relationship with the posts where people quote themselves and ask "Agree?"

Agree?πŸ˜‚β€‹

@Em0nM4stodon Telegram, but stickers... I will use anything if in it will be stickers support like in Telegram. Yeah...
@Em0nM4stodon Facebook. Thousand percent Facebook. Unfortunately, the majority of my known family are there so I can't.
@Em0nM4stodon Can't leave any of the others if you're not using any of the others. πŸ€”πŸ˜‚
@Em0nM4stodon Already left Facebook when the 2008 Obama campaign exposed a ton of coworkers REAL thoughts and feelings. Instagram is the next I would like to leave but the importance of it showing what I can do(photography) has helped me get jobs.
@Em0nM4stodon I'd love a self hosted or decentralized replacement for Discord! Sadly, everyone I need to talk to uses it, so...

@Em0nM4stodon I've already left them all years ago and never regretted it one second.
@Em0nM4stodon LinkedIn is the only one I'm still on, and I'm not sure if I can leave it. Besides, I only check it when I am in need of recruiters, so meh.
@Em0nM4stodon I was basically done with Facebook until I went for a band cruise that hosted its fan group on FB and got sucked back in. I hate it.
@Em0nM4stodon IG is the only other one I have left but I need it to #monitor my company's social media accounts. I closed all my personal SM accounts many years ago because I #knowwhatisoutthere - best thing I ever did. Happy to be in the #fediverse tho! This place is lit and really takes me back to the vibe of the early internet chat #forums, #ICQ, and #BBS boards.
