“To #LinkedIn, human beings do not exist—only job titles do. Context is beyond its capability to analyze.”

Ich suche übrigens einen neuen Dayjob im Raum #Paderborn in #Teilzeit (bis 15 Stunden/Wo.).
Ich bin im #Onlinemarketing und betreue aktuell eine #WordPress Website, manage #LinkedIn und diverse #Marketing #Organisation wie zB Messen.
Derzeit arbeite ich für eine kleine #IT Firma, die Software für den #Maschinenbau entwickelt.
Technische Inhalte sind nicht mein Liebling, aber kann ich.

Suche was mit ohne rassistisch-sexistischen Chef, auch gern #Freelance. Wenn ihr was hört - danke 🥰

je mag dus niets zeggen over degenen die alles mogen zeggen en doen

want billionair ,president en politicus

dan is dat maar weer eens duidelijk

#BlackRock #Apple #MetaDaten

Saw on #LinkedIn a European tech expert claiming that the #US is "by far the worst in the world in terms of privacy violations"

I honestly feel like #Asia doesn't exist to a lot of Europeans. Do they really not know how bad privacy and data laws are in many countries here? Have they not heard of the #GreatFirewall or how #Chinese users have basically zero data privacy?

Lots to critique in the US and of big tech, but that's not the way to do it.

ABOUT #TIKTOK

there’s a problem for #USA & #Canada android users; especially with #Samsung phones: ROOT.

#google colludes with #qualcomm and the few phone makers left in North America, to keep spyware in a separate partition from where apps are installed.

i have one of those post-2020 "unrootable" Samsungs with a fake system process that is a beacon for #Facebook & #Microsoft triggered via #LinkedIn.

we need #infosec folks looking into the phenomenon of shadow apps in #Google #Android.

Liebe Journalisten, Medien, Künstler, NGOs, u.v.m. hier ein Beispiel wieso die Ausrede mit der sogenannten Reichweite in den kommerziellen, (anti)sozialen Medien ein reiner Selbstbetrug ist und sonst nichts anderes.

RE: mastodon.green/users/VQuaschni…

Interesting post (in German): Prof. Quaschning posted about alternative social networks like #mastodon on #LinkedIn and got his post shadowbanned: he's the only person allowed to see it.

@VQuaschning https://mastodon.green/@VQuaschning/115955859962452080

This is one of the worst things I've ever seen on #LinkedIn and that's saying something.

Not to invoke a cliche but we should really get on destroying capitalism ASAP.

Unter Mitwirkung der @unikonstanz ist eine sehr wichtige Veröffentlichung zu neuen Möglichkeiten der #Massenmanipulation durch #sozialeMedien erschienen
👉 https://www.uni-konstanz.de/universitaet/aktuelles-und-medien/aktuelle-meldungen/aktuelles-1/die-naechste-generation-an-desinformation/

„Bald schon könnten neue „#KI-Schwärme“ einen öffentlichen Konsens vortäuschen und die #Demokratie im Stillen verzerren, warnen Forschende. David Garcia von der #UniversitätKonstanz gibt einen Ausblick auf ein noch nie dagewesenes Ausmaß an #Meinungsmanipulation, das den demokratischen Diskurs bedroht.“

Signed back up for #LinkedIn at the behest of my small-startup employer 😌 (every little bit helps, sure, fine! also useful next acquisition/layoff/whatever…)

Been something like ten years since I had an active account, so the old one is gone gone gone. If you wanna (re?)connect, hmu? https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-forcier-a87a9b320/

(huh. yea the old account definitely gone: they let me take my old vanity slug: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bitprophet/)

Je vois des gens qui publient des billets de blogs sur #facebook, #instagram, #linkedin… c'est dommage de ne pas les publier (aussi) ailleurs car ce sont des sites fermés (entre autres raisons)…

➡️ Où publier simplement des textes sur internet ?

J'ai fait une sélection et une synthèse ici :

Si vous voyez d'autres solutions simples merci de les préciser, je complèterai !

Never write long posts only on #mastodon #twitter #linkedin

Use your own blog as a source and then either link it or copy/paste your writing. This way your posts will always be somewhere.

It wont matter if your server/service provider decide to shutdown or go bonkers like #twitter or #linkedin.

Librecast has closed its page on #LinkedIn and will be closing the Matrix Room on Matrix.org.

The most annoying thing about corporate surveillance to me is the arrogance of the prediction mechanisms.

These algorithms build a model of me based on my clicks from three years ago and then try to trap me in that loop forever. They show me music they think I'll like, and news they think I'll engage with, and videos they think will enrage me enough to keep me hooked to their platforms. They are actively trying to flatten my personality into something easy to monetize.

As most people I've seen say out loud, "Privacy as a concept is way beyond hiding secrets. A part of it also means preserving your capacity to change. To be surprised. To be inconsistent."

If I could tell every human one thing, it would be to actively refuse to be a predictable data point. Mess up their metrics. In whatever way you are capable of.

What is up with people on #LinkedIn being said to have 40+ job anniversaries? They're almost certainly announcements for long dormant accounts.

#career #socialmedia #business

Social media sites ranking in terms of engagement:

1. Mastodon
2. LinkedIn
3. BlueSky
4. Pixelfed

#SocialMedia #Mastodon #LinkedIn #Pixelfed

I think a lot of us here are using #linkedin to stay in touch with our colleagues and ex-employers. I think i have an opportunity to get a whole boat load of people to switch.

What can we switch to?
(preferably something fedi-based)

#infosec #privacy #privacyalternative

Geen #Facebook, geen #Instagram, geen #Threads, geen #Twitter/X, geen #Bluesky, geen #Tumblr, geen #TikTok, geen #Snapchat, geen #Pinterest, geen #Reddit en #Linkedin staat in slaapstand.

Dus alleen nog #Mastodon en #PixelFed

En zonder #Google kom je met een Android telefoon niet ver dus helaas die nog even aanhouden.

Helaas nog wel #WhatsApp en daar vanaf gaan is erg lastig. Is mijn ervaring een aantal jaar geleden. Kom maar naar #Signal, zeg ik vaak.

All right, we all love a good, batshit LinkedIn post. This is my new favorite. Maybe I'll just start blogging on LinkedIn for the heck of it. #LinkedIn #LinkedInGoneWild #WatershipDown
Leadership Skills You Can Learn from Watership Down in 2023: The Year of the Rabbit
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/leadership-skills-you-can-learn-from-watership-down-2023-amy-stewart

I know many people who are aware of the importance of #FreedomRespecting software, data, and culture - and the related issues of digital sovereignty and privacy.

Paradoxically, a lot of these people also participate in, or even maintain, communities hosted on #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted or #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.

To state the obvious, each community which chooses a proprietary platform - or bridges to it - is also **giving another reason for others to be on that platform.** It's *reinforcing network effect.*

Conversely, if these communities chose to move to free platforms, their members would be forced to move as well. In other words, these communities have *the opportunity to push for change on a massive scale.*

Sure, you have to reach out to people on proprietary platforms, if that's where the majority are. But you **cannot** be stopping there - you **must** have a strategy to move people away from proprietary platforms to free platforms.

To give the example of #OpenStreetMap -
* I announce events on free platforms sooner
* I remind people on proprietary platforms that they should join the free platforms to get notified earlier
* After each event, we invite people to our #XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
* All organizational talk takes place on our XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
* I minimize my participation on proprietary platforms, and communities which bridge to them. The bulk of my activity happens on free platforms.
* I have never submitted data to Mapillary or KartaView, because their clients and servers are proprietary. All my contributions go to #WikimediaCommons and #Panoramax.

So to the people who are choosing - and therefore promoting - proprietary platforms, I ask...

**How do you think things are going to change, if everyone keeps choosing what is easiest for them, and keeps choosing, supporting, and promoting proprietary platforms?**

**What part are *you* playing in making things better? Or are you just going to go with the flow of the world, even if you know it to be wrong?**

They don't like answering these questions, but I invite them to find the integrity and courage to answer them all the same.

Or, to find the integrity and courage to make the obvious change and do the obvious right thing.

People hate it when I bring this up. Sorry, but my conscience dictates that I speak up for what is right. Silence is complicity, and it gets us nowhere.
