I find LinkedIn incredibly slippery.
So some guy is able to set up a company page without any validation? Not right.
When I closed my account last month, I was sent an email saying that I could re-start my account within 20 days, thereafter it would be deleted. I signed in again today - 24 days later - and all my details were still on file. OK, it's only 4 days difference - but OK, these are computer databases, they don't care whether it's 20 days plus one second, or 2000 days. So I was lied to.
And now I see 'Free Upgrade to Premium' in the top corner - perhaps it's one of those special offers, so I click and have a look. I choose a plan and read down to the bottom and.. it's a free trial, not a free upgrade. The two things are distinctly different propositions.
I'll keep the account, for now, but I'm doubly hesitant to commit any value to it, because like most social media sites: it'[s not for me, it's for them.
Long live independent social media, like QBN and all the other wee private forums and stuff running off open Protocols like IRC or Mastodon. Fuck all the rest of that shit - it's not got our benefit in mind.
- ok, my profile's connections have been reset - they're all lined up to reinstigate though.detritus
