Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into “hibernation” for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I’m still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company’s site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

    I agree that LinkedIn is shit, but I’m not sure it’ll be resolved by going fedi. IMO what would be more important is a better job posting board. LinkedIn job search sucks galactic balls. The “remote jobs” search option is a fucking joke. Keywords are so blatantly spoiled by SEO and LinkedIn refuses to clean it up.

    Not sure if a federated job search board would improve the situation though…

      Its you again! Your signature always identifies you instantly.

      I agree that linkedin is shit. Any form of alternative would be good but honestly, I‘m not using any social media that isnt democratic anymore. So my only chance at it is making it democratic.

      Have a good one.

        😂 Thanks, I was hoping it would’ve caught on by now, but that’s fine.

        Respect. LinkedIn shouldn’t have been social media, but they went ahead and did it. I too would like an alternative.

        You have a good one too 🙂
