Yep, but… Just like anywhere else you can manually block annoying people and filter out most of the trash. Not everything, to be fair, but quality improves a lot of you start blocking bullshit.
I think my block list is hundreds of accounts long by now.
If, to make the place bearable, you need to block hundreds of people, I’d say the place is… Not very good.
I honestly don’t know why I have an account. The once a year I log in, I see that it’s a self help - self promotion death spiral of despair and I immediately nope out. That’s not even counting the advertising dms, which are sent straight from satan’s asshole.
I feel like companies basically force you to have one at this point. Last time I applied for jobs literally every application has a section to post your linkedin profile.
You shouldnt even have it installed, huge fucking liability.
EDIT: Ah wait you meant Linkedin lol mb
It was the same for me. When I saw a few days ago that they were switching to Microsoft Azure, that was the last straw for me (even though it actually makes absolutely no difference to me). The funniest part is that when I clicked to delete my account, they said: ‘Are you sure? You will no longer be in contact with Jon Doe?’ and I had never heard of Jon Doe. The easiest decision ever.
TBH my one and only concern about TikTok is that its a military campaign from a hostile dictatorship.
Idgaf about how good or bad their moderation seems to be given that first point.
Lmao very true
And fake job postings
I honestly don’t understand the people who use it daily. Everyone I’ve ever worked with just uses it as an online resume
Of the people I see posting stuff daily (or at least within a day of the few times a year I log in), it’s all posted by people I’ve worked with with in the past who I thought it was a miracle they were employed at all. And they usually still/again have the Open To Work badge on their pic.
If LinkedIn got rid of the entire concept of a feed, I think it would work a lot better. And the “loss of engagement” won’t contain anything of value apart from ad impressions.
So the stupidest most gullible people you’ve worked with seem to live on that feed having lots of ad impressions, which are likely to be quite effective due to how gullible they are and the fact that they are all adults with money, and you are asking why MS doesn’t remove the feed?
I wonder too…
