Surprising enough i'm spending more time on #LinkedIn as my "other than #Mastodon social space".
While recruiter and over the top marketing folks are there, they are easy enough to avoid and ignore surprisingly enough.
Not sure why. Initial impressions is that there are more "news" links vs "snarky/hot takes and reactive" takes. Less negativity. More business, less geek (therefore balances my reading with here). Could never spend a lot of time there daily but it can be a breath of fresh air.
@davidbisset LI is the only centralized social media platform I still engage with. But I and others use it in a different capacity, which is for our career. And the people that use it like they do X, FB, etc. are more than likely harming their career and future opportunities for employment.
@jon LI is where I talk about the business stuff i'm doing but yeah I'm seeing those "let me tell you how successful I am and why" (in an over the top way like you see on X) types. A few I can take lessons from, but most I can't.
But I just congregated someone in WP community for a new position and it felt more meaningful there.
I don't use the LI canned responses though. Either I write myself or not at all.
