Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I don’t think LinkedIn understands what they are anymore
Seeing how some users already interpret is as a dating app ... they're not the only ones
Just .. what?!?
Imagine the type of people that both think of and respond to linked-in advances.
Do you have a resume? Wink
LinkedIn reminds me of that scene in Men in Black where they discover a weird little society living inside a locker. But instead of a locker, it's a job board.
With a large adult section in the back!
How large are we talking? 6' and larger or some gargantuan 7 footers?
LinkedIn has become business-casual facebook.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. For a few years it worked well for me, just had to block tons of accounts to be left with just news and posts of my field of work.
Then like half a year ago or so that stopped working. Now its just trash like everything else.
I immediately unfollow and report anyone posting garbage that should stay on Facebook
Already seeing many using it as a Tumblr/Twitter replacement where they share shower thoughts unprompted. It's really odd.
EITHER:
XOR:
( well, OK, the combination of both is actually-possible, but less-likely? )
In either case, what they're doing, besides Microsofting the joint, ( the verb "to Microsoft" means to highjack/trojan/enshittify/rot-all-value-from a company through partial/total ownership ), is they are making-certain that whatever competitor should appear on the horizon, Microsoft is stacking-odds FOR that competitor, against LinkedIn.
Same as how MySpace made certain that people disliked it enough to suddenly-jump-ship when Facebook came around..
Anti-strategy.
CORE Anti-strategy.
We evidently haven't figured-out how to test for strategic intelligence, yet, as it obviously has nothing, whatsoever, to do with SAT++.
