In my personal opinion, LinkedIn is no longer a professional networking site. It is now mainly a sales and marketing platform. Not an effective one either. I have been inundated with Inmail requests for dating, harassed and it’s never about the work or anything remotely professional at all. It’s all about the money… Always….
It’s gone the way of Facebook, pushing ads and icons at you all day! Seriously silly. Getting fed up with Facebook actually, ads thrown at you every five minutes!
There is a lot of Toxic posts, post about how one had nothing, then woo woo all of a sudden, you are rish..and YES come and buy my bitcoin? something I feel that you cannot even see, and have had many debates about it…
The ONLY place which a great place to network, with no Ads is Mastodon, I have had an account for a year or so now.. It’s brilliant.
Mastodon is free and open-source software for running self-hosted social networking services. It has microblogging features similar to the Twitter service, which are offered by a large number of independently run Mastodon nodes (known as “instances”), each with its own code of conduct, terms of service, privacy options, and moderation policies.
Each user is a member of a specific Mastodon instance, which can interoperate as a federated social network, allowing users on different nodes to interact with each other. This is intended to give users the flexibility to select a server whose policies they prefer, but keep access to a larger social network. Mastodon is also part of the Fediverse ensemble of server platforms, which use shared protocols allowing users to also interact with users on other compatible platforms,[7] such as PeerTube and Friendica.
