Is LinkedIn transforming to Facebook?

Very true. I don't use Facebook because not it become a toxic place and people like who continue to evolve and learn not a great place. I am using linkedIn from quite a time but now its looks like it will become Facebook.

@nitin_joshi Yeah, we are magnets for connections. 🧲😅

@nitin_joshi At what point would you be vulnerable to quit LinkedIn? :D

@busmark_w_nika 😁 okay! how many followers do you have in LinkedIn?

@busmark_w_nika Okay good. I saw your recent interview with a developer on YT. I guess it was your first such event right?

@busmark_w_nika When I don't need to connect with people. I have people who will connect. 😄

I was thinking exactly the same thing the other day!

@julia_engelsmann How do you perceive LinkedIn now? What would you like to have there less/more?

You are right, I saw a lot of people now sharing catchy videos to get attention (and Linkedin promotes that content because it considers it engagement even if the content is very bad). Also, some people take LinkedIn as Tinder as well...

@alessio_mavica LinkedIn as Tinder? Some people, seriously... Maybe I should make a "swipe right" Chrome plugin for LI :)

@alessio_mavica @jgani Jonni – that is not a bad idea at all! 😀 I think it could be a quite good feature.

@alessio_mavica Yeah, can agree with both statements.

Agreed, people stat using it more and more for personal stories rather than business stories.

@sebastian_karges I didn't like LinkedIn since its early days, specifically with its ugly UI. I also don't think it could ever compete with Twitter/X, though I use it for the sake of completeness in my social presence. Btw, I see you're launching soon. Hit the Notify Me button already. When are you launching? Let's support each other. 🤛

@sebastian_karges Do you like the way people are presenting now on LI? Because TBH I like it more if it is not so "perfect" business-oriented. I like things authentic.

Sebastian Karges @sebastian_karges

@busmark_w_nika 100%, it's less perfect and therefore more relatable.

Peter Hansen @trumpeter

It's going this way, which is pretty annoying, but for the time being, there is no real alternative.

minimalist phone: creating folders

@trumpeter What other social media? X, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon etc?

Peter Hansen @trumpeter

@busmark_w_nika What I meant was that, for the time being, there is no real alternative to LinkedIn, despite LinkedIn becoming annoying because more and more people are posting personal stuff rather than professional stuff. There are other professional-oriented social media, for example, Xing, but the coverage is just not the same.

@trumpeter Never heard about Xing, but gonna check it out!

I don't feel that yet... but I sometimes it's feels a bit unrealistic, we only share "success stories". For me it was good as a corporate tool, connecting with headhunter and companies however as an entrepreneur it doesn't add much value. The new feature about commenting in articles I simply don't like it. However I prefer linkedin to other social media it feels like an upgrade in my contact agenda, that's all.

@paula_schiffelbein I am also the same, but I like other social media too. It depends on the purposes you use them tho.

LinkedIn is so bad, I call it boomer facebook... but then again facebook is only boomers now too

minimalist phone: creating folders

@reid_c yeah, it is also a boomer social media. But still better than FB IMO.

Reid C @reid_c

DEX

@busmark_w_nika True, deleted FB years ago

Anjali N @anjaliinambiar

Yes, I do, but again it is debatable some people like sharing their personal stories + some people only want professional connections. But for me, LinkedIn is becoming too crowded right now. Too much information at a single place

minimalist phone: creating folders

@anjaliinambiar I like it when people share personal things. It is also a part of their story and authenticity. But I do not like to read long formats. I would prefer to split it into pieces.

Alexandra Toby @alexandra_toby

And Facebook transforming into something horrible?

minimalist phone: creating folders

@alexandra_toby I do not know. Honestly, I am spending there a little bit of time. Desktop version for messaging to my friends from school, or lurking in MEME groups or getting information about some events. This is the only purpose I use this platform.

Marvin Mändle @marvin_maendle

I don't use facebook anymore very active, but it feels like LinkedIn is more and more turning into a influencer platform. I often read the same topics and headlines more and more. People should just share their thoughts and start nice, respectful discussions. But i try to see the good things. There are also some really interesting posts and you can make meaningful connections or collaborations :)

minimalist phone: creating folders

@marvin_maendle True true. I connected on LI with many interesting people. Still worth being there. :-)

Yes, I feel so. too much of cringe content and useless messages
