Why the fuck would I let LinkedIn have scan my passport using my phone's NFC to get a freaking verified badge on their site?
I have over 5000 connections from people I worked with and been in contact with. They know I'm real and for the rest, I don't give a rats ass what they think of me.
#LinkedIn have turned into a shot hole of professional network by copying all the crapwfrom Facebook already. Who the hell want to give them more data than they already have?
Zusammenfassung der Posts zur #rp24 über die drei Tage. Fediverse mit einem klaren Vorsprung vor #Xcorp, #Bluesky und #Threads sind quasi gleichauf. #Linkedin konnte ich nur unvollständig erfassen, weil sie Suche dort nur einen eingeschränkten Zeitraum zurückgeht (und Posts haben keinen Veröffentlichungszeitpunkt, nur einen Veröffentlichungstag). #Facebook abgeschlagen am letzten Platz. #Instagram kann ich gar nicht mehr vergleichen, weil die Suche nur noch Top-Beiträge anzeigt, nicht mehr die aktuellsten. #TikTok Suche ist ebenfalls ungeeignet, weil Hashtags nicht exakt gematcht werden und deshalb die Ergebnisse statt mit re:publica mit RetourenPrinz24 voll sind. Solltet ihr Vorschläge für andere Plattformen haben, wo öffentliche Kommunikation zur Veranstaltung stattgefunden hat, lasst es mich wissen.

Vielleicht schaue ich mir noch irgendwann Reposts und Engagement an.
@ben Obviously we all gave up the right to the content that we created the very moment we joined Stack Overflow (or perhaps later when we "accepted" a change of their conditions).
Everyone should have noticed that some of us were herded into a "beauty contest", akin to the wares at a slave market in the 19th century (#LinkedIn is similar).
Those in the "community" who were motivated by mutual help were scammed.
The best option is to leave, and starve them of fresh content. #stackoverflow
#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.
@BeAware@madargon You analogy does not make any sense as using any of these social networks is optional. If you do not like a service, then just leave & do not use it.
I have left #Facebook & #LinkedIn over disagreements with their ad polices or (with the latter) the “premium spam” I was receiving (companies at the time could pay to harass you with spam).
These platforms are at best tools. If the tool is not to your liking, stop using it.
I know we'll all have our opinions about #LinkedIn's decision to join the #Fediverse, and that's fine.
Personally, I believe it's for the best. I've been missing out on a lot, I think - sometimes I find myself thinking, "hey, what do true leaders do straight after getting out of bed at 4am?" So it's good that this discourse is coming over to complete Fediverse's story.
I'll be editing my bio soon to make it more useful and friendly to new LinkedIn visitors. Please give them a warm welcome!
Reactions on extreme right and pro Israeli accounts goes from sadbes, to condemnation and mostly ridicule and calling him "deeply disturbed individual".
Both #CNN and #NewsWeek were forced to edit their initial posts about Aaron Bushnell's tragic protest action to include some parts of his final words but removed the reference to #Palestine there.
Other articles refute that he might have been Jewish, his #LinkedIn and Facebook pages have been removed, together with his final post where he explained why he chose to protest the ongoing genocide in Gaza and American complicity in it by setting himself on fire.
Images of DC police holding a gun against him instead of trying to put out the fire have been deleted and accounts posting them receiving up to 2 week ban on #Facebook and #Instagram.
