The network I don’t like the most is LinkedIn. Too much meaningless words. Almost nobody delivers quality stuff (or it’s just people around me?) Anyway it seems people like LinkedIn and I have decided to become more active with really short posts about tech stuff I discover from time to time, mostly related to self hosting. What about you? Are you there? ---

I have a profile there because that’s a must have when you’re looking for a job nowadays. I do try and apply for a job a few times a year, just to know what other companies feel like and what I’m worth in terms of salary. That said, I’m not active, I just look at vacancies every now and then. LinkedIn has become the new Facebook/X where people want to make sure you make part of their “amazing lifestyle”. I don’t post nor reply anything, I feel I’d have a fulltime job pointing out how wrong people are with their crazy “opinions”. Populism works, but it annoys me to death. Don’t even get me started on recruiters… ---

Yeah, I’m more or less the same as @Solaire. I occasionally repost work-related stuff (or colleagues’ posts), but that’s more or less it ---

I rarely post something, but I use too. Sort of to build up a resume. Like @Solaire pointed out, it’s often required nowadays. ---

> [@Solaire](#): > > LinkedIn has become the new Facebook/X where people want to make sure you make part of their “amazing lifestyle” Last year I was looking for a job and decided to update my profile. Oh man that site made me feel really really bad. ---

I go on every once in a while to like all the posts from people I know who are looking for work. I used to use it before I had a job. ---

I got a “congratulations on 17 years with LinkedIn” email from them yesterday but I don’t really use the site. Reddit is really the only social media I use regularly and I deleted my account there when they decided to start charging to use their API (and when the Apollo shutdown). I eventually went back (and pay for Narwal now) but if I had to use the default site or mobile app I’d probably quit (again). ---

Never used or liked LinkedIn too much, but I’ve actually been there a couple times after I quit FB a few months ago. 😇 ---

I also quit Meta and Twitter and all the psychological profiles. I still have the profile at LinkedIn because it is owned by Microsoft, with which I have account (@live.com) for work (Teams), for Windows desktop and for games. ---
