#infosec #rant

I used to look forward to getting LinkedIn messages...often times it was a juicy job posting or old friend reaching out to check in.

Nowadays it really is just vendors shoving meeting invites. I don't blame them, LinkedIn has empowered them to do so...and our existence on the platform itself enables that behavior....but man it's been super exhausting.

It's just meaningless and draining notifications constantly.

I think I'll be more active here, because I've noticed there is 100% more individual to individual interaction + conversation.

@infosecsidekick LinkedIn is hit or miss for me. Yes, there are far more vendors shilling their wares, but I do still get messages from recruiters. At this point, I come to Mastdon and certain public slacks/discord for meaningful infosec stuff.

@WarySec Totally man. I think part of it is that I also probably have a horribly optimized profile. I probably put too many buzzwords or something in it so people associate me with a "decision maker" lol
