I don’t think LinkedIn understands what they are anymore
Seeing how some users already interpret is as a dating app … they’re not the only ones
Just … what?!?
Imagine the type of people that both think of and respond to linked-in advances.
Do you have a resume? Wink
LinkedIn reminds me of that scene in Men in Black where they discover a weird little society living inside a locker. But instead of a locker, it’s a job board.
With a large adult section in the back!
How large are we talking? 6’ and larger or some gargantuan 7 footers?
LinkedIn has become business-casual facebook.
Yeah, I’d agree with that. For a few years it worked well for me, just had to block tons of accounts to be left with just news and posts of my field of work.
Then like half a year ago or so that stopped working. Now its just trash like everything else.
I immediately unfollow and report anyone posting garbage that should stay on Facebook
Already seeing many using it as a Tumblr/Twitter replacement where they share shower thoughts unprompted. It’s really odd.
EITHER:
- they are incompetent, & not understanding Branding, at all ( read the books of Al Ries on Branding, Marketing, Focus, etc, and that book on Focus is the core of why LinkedIn is now hosed )
XOR:
- somebody in upper-management there is a trojan, the same as Steve Ballmer got a trojan into Nokia, as a means of harvesting all sorts of patent-rights while destroying Nokia ( what Citadel & Boston Consulting Group did to Sears is the same, except that Citadel was shorting it, instead of getting a sea of patent-licenses )
( well, OK, the combination of both is actually-possible, but less-likely? )
In either case, what they’re doing, besides Microsofting the joint, ( the verb “to Microsoft” means to highjack/trojan/enshittify/rot-all-value-from a company through partial/total ownership ), is they are making-certain that whatever competitor should appear on the horizon, Microsoft is stacking-odds FOR that competitor, against LinkedIn.
Same as how MySpace made certain that people disliked it enough to suddenly-jump-ship when Facebook came around…
Anti-strategy.
CORE Anti-strategy.
We evidently haven’t figured-out how to test for strategic intelligence, yet, as it obviously has nothing, whatsoever, to do with SAT++.
What the fuck, why?
I’m so tired of LinkedIn already, I don’t want people messaging me “Let’s play 8-ball!”
Please visit my farm in FarmVille!
Crap, I forgot to visit my boss’s farm, and I need to come up with a good scrabble word so that recruiter takes me seriously! And I didn’t post a motivational quote yesterday!?
Sorry prospective employers, I’m not falling for that
It’s all crypto games, isn’t it?
Or team building games
Holy shit! no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, crypto games are good! Actually, crypto games are the best!!
Crypto team-building games it is.
Is there a fediverse LinkedIn out there?
Employers, as a general body, fundamentally disagree with what the fediverse stands for
What do you mean?
My boss loves free shit. Ain’t never met one who didn’t.
I always check whether each piece of deployed FOSS Software is Free for Commercial Use only to find out the answer is **“It should be”. ** Lord knows my employer can afford it.
Something about Thomas Jefferson falling into a wormhole, right?

Remote trust fall and other work appropriate virtual ice breaker games you can play with Tim from accounting.
While HR watches the interactions for fireable offenses
So with LinkedIn losing its shit, where is the next place to go to for doing what LinkedIn was supposed to be good at?
Building up an actual network of co workers and maintaining a portfolio.
vr chat
You have xing, but it’s big in DACH countries only and its still owned/ruled by a company. Roll up our own website and socialize / network with like minded people on the fediverse instead.
Rolodex?
Was it supposed to be good at something? I was only ever told to to get it in case an employer Googles me, never to actually try to find jobs. That’s what indeed is for (or in my case just going directly to the employer’s website).
i cant imagine anything i’d like to do less than play video games with people specifically on linkedin
You always try to be everything to everyone
So Farmville? People can harvest while they browse for the daily motivational quote about how great of leader everybody is.
Duck duck goose to determine who gets laid off
Yeah after Reading this yesterday I downloaded all my data and nuked my account.
Was barely any different from Facebook anyhow. More self promoting bullshit but same levels of insane “the gub’mint” garbage.
meanwhile, copilot:
Naw, Copilot is loving the free technical data in the form of “AI and user created articles”.
Smh, this is going flop
