I see more people putting up links to Linkedin.. To be honest, I much rather just have a plain .txt file to read

Linkedin keep trying to verify me as non-bot after X seconds or scrolling on their page

Pretty sure I am not the only one clicking away the page when this happens

So.. if you want your stuff read.. Don't share a Linkedin post

And this always happens btw, with or without VPN

From home, mobile, whatever

I am not gonna do their stupid tests to prove im not a bot to read a post, sorry

@stux I see more and more people using LinkedIn as a replacement for Facebook/X/etc. instead of the boring business rolodex it used to be. LI still sucks because of its algorithm and ads, though, but the actual content seems to be improving.

@[email protected] I'm considering deleting my LinkedIn. It might be necessary in a few years time, but for now it's just the dullest social media I have, and the PWA also doesn't work.

@stux I just don't click linked in links anymore :p

@stux I think someone should write a "privacy frontend" for LinkedIn (but I guess it's a hard problem due to bot verification that you mentioned)

@stux really wish we had a fedi alternative to LinkedIn.

@Sh4d0w_H34rt Except one that works and doesn't net me a bunch of messages from shitty recruiters who can't read my details and want me to work a three month in New Jersey when I'm not a US resident.

A federated CV system without the bullshit would be nice.

@stux linkedin is, for me, just a spam site. In the past few years, I have not had anything useful. Most requests show the sender has not bothered to read my profile..

@stux if it is corporate social media, I don't click or engage. Same for bsky and threads to be honest.

@stux also the number of popups. you click on a link and you get three, some overlapping.

@stux Every few months, I login to LinkedIn, see what the two people I follow there are posting about, logout.

I used to get all kinds of stupid spam messages from recruiters misinterpreting terms in my profile. Yes, I own my little business. That doesn't mean I'm interested in franchising my little business or other such, yet I got piles of offers about how I could turn it into a lucrative franchise operation.

I'm retired, take your lies elsewhere!

@stux I was blocked by LinkedIn so can't see any links anyway. It has become a highly censored place managed by dumb algorithms that have no intelligence.

@stux The links to LinkedIn are nearly as annoying as Instagram, BlueSky and TikTok. No, I DON'T want your app. No, I DON'T want to sign in.

@stux Also because Linkedin is ~the worst~
