People that still believe it's the best way to get a job.

I got my current job there

It does feel like someone set it up once upon a time ago and forgot.

Bro now that TikTok is banned I just use LinkedIn for my short form content I’m using my damaged attention span to #LockIn.

I use LinkedIn for various #China rants. Far too many warmongers spouting nonsense that need an education and - sadly - we are speaking of people in positions of real power.

Me I am looking for jobs. But like they don’t show the jobs you want. They show the jobs they want and try to get you to pay premium to get better searches -.-

I mostly just get spam from recruiters on LinkedIn and ignore it. It is occasionally useful for having a way to contact former work colleagues who I wouldn’t want to connect with on any other form of social media.

Just decided not to bother with using it at all on new podcast

Logged in and just hated it

😂I do!! 🩷🩷 A few companies I care about only post on LinkedIn and I follow their accounts

I deleted that shit and it made no difference to my life.

Didn't update that thing for years but my CV is somehow still "very interesting and we would like to talk with you"

How many bots are running around there writing and reading CVs?

right? i call it the 80’s shoulder pad of the internet.

I occasionally use it to find a purchasing person.

Linkedins CEO is a pedo.

Yes. It’s unbearable tbh. I am almost inclined to think less of people who still use it. Negative signal.

I don’t know if you could describe my usage as ‘actually using it’ but I do tap on the app from time to time to get rid of the number bubble of unread notifications lol

I used it to find my java programming job at Spain, with an Spanish company. I'm learning btc and I want to work for btc and even develop some apps using btc.

Where can I start? Here in Spain the state takes more than a half of my salary directly, and 80% indirectly

There’s such a surge in cringe content

Many businesses here in germany... my employer included. x.x

Career goal: to guide my career down a pathway where I ultimately can get rid of my LinkedIn profile.

I'm on LinkedIn since the very beginning.

Just using it to figure out what my former co-workers are doing now, contact them, and have an always updated CV to share.

I use it from time to time to mock everybody 😃 I always post about AI replacing jobs, how much working much doesn't matter to anyone, nobody from the company you worked for 40 years will come to your funeral type of shit.

I corporate world, is is recommended up and down as a best networking mechanism..

Linked In is an absolutely rubbish space

it’s my favourite anthological experiment!!!!!!!!

Cesspool is the word I usually go with

It’s gonna get deleted one these days I swear. I feel like a fake corporate bitch whenever I scroll on there

I use the app to connect with customers abd business partners at large meetings. I am finding most 30-40s prefer swapping LinkedIn QRs to business cards. I also got my last 3 jobs over LinkedIn afyer being targeted for recruitment. Their Sales Navigator tools are super useful for mapping potential B2B customers, though LinkedIn marketing campaigns are ineffective for anything besides recruitment.

I use it sometimes …. but it feels so wrong, advertising and bullshit …

And did you notice there’s now a dedicated Video tab? 👌🏻

Yes it's a dumpster fire, the algorithm is bad, the UX is bad, and they are trying to get into the content business which is making things worse. That said, it's a solid source of updates on new ML models, frameworks, and projects.

Where else.... GitHub? Hacker News? Twitter? Chaos. Even Hugging Face is bad at discovery and everything is right under their nose. ML industry people posting ML industry things is directionally a decent source of signal (even if it's self promotion). You just have to mute and block everything else.

I assume there are data/ML people hiding around here on nostr, but there is no real dialog. And by dialog, I don't want to talk about AI alignment, or job displacement, or copyright, or Sam Altman. I want to know what types of systems and models people are building across various sources and modalities, what's working, etc...

There's an app too? Da fuk.

I never used it ever ,

Don’t know why .

I have not been on that app in a hot 🔥 minute

Never used it

Unfortunately, in my line of work is a must, but I despise it beyond belief.

I use it. There’s definitely A LOT of jerkoffs on that site, but I work in construction and it’s cool to see what other projects people have going on.

There’s only one reason to use it and my employer wouldn’t like it

Corporate culture/Linkedin is soulless slop. Made a profile for a college class and find the insincerity exhausting.

100% I see lefties on there so it's great entertainment. They LOVE JDaddy Trudeau 🤣 🤣

I do 🙊 😝

Made an account many years ago (maybe 15) and used it regularly at first, but haven’t updated or used it in a while now (at least 5 years). I found it grew very unuseful.
