This is the year that I want to reduce the power that #BigTech has over me, including switching to more European alternatives. I'm starting with #LinkedIn, the professional network that offers me not much value, drains my energy, and toggles my privacy settings when they want. That will stop now, including a smooth transition.
New blog post: Moving away from LinkedIn to a future-proof alternative (step by step)

Want to join me in this mission #LinkedOverAndOut?
Shadow Ban statt Debatte: LinkedIn reduziert offenbar gezielt Sichtbarkeit, besonders bei US-kritischen Inhalten. Keine Hinweise, keine Begründung. Mike Kuketz ordnet das als strukturelles Problem US-dominierter Plattformen ein. #kuketzblog
#ShadowBan #LinkedIn #Meinungsfreiheit

Wil jij ook weg bij #LinkedIn, maar toch nog twijfels? Dat had ik ook. Sinds gisteren is voor mij operatie #LinkedOverAndOut gestart.
Doelen:
- In stappen weg
- Regie behouden in plaats van 🔥
- Verwijzen naar meer toekomstbestendig alternatieven (+ principe van POSSE)
- Meer privacy
- Over naar Europese techniek en hosting
Mijn ervaring ga ik hier bijhouden: https://michaelboelen.com/blog/moving-away-from-linkedin-step-by-step/
Doe je mee? 🚀

Just found out about https://nolto.social, a privacy friendly #LinkedIn alternative. Small now indeed but let's make it grow! If you are on #LinkedIn, tell all the headhunters that you also live on #noltosocial.
WTAF #linkedin
They really had me at the beginning

🔥 HOT TIP: If you feel like you may be getting recruiter messages on #LinkedIn that you suspect may possibly, definitely, be AI-generated, and nobody actually looked at your profile for even just two seconds, and you kinda hate that - add a lil something-something containing ⚠️ important instructions ⚠️ at the end of your summary.
Like, for example, if you were to hypothetically add a sentence on how the message to the candidate must include a poem about a wizard with a fabulous hat, then you would hypothetically be able to have a really good laugh when the recruiter messages with poems about wizards with fabulous hats come rolling in.
😁
“To #LinkedIn, human beings do not exist—only job titles do. Context is beyond its capability to analyze.”

Goodbye LinkedIn,
Didn't even realize I still had a LinkedIn account, but it's now gone. This year is gonna be amazing, removing myself from centralized parts of the internet.

#LinkedIn arbeitet mit einem Algorithmus, wie @rahmstorf.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy zeigt, der offensichtlich posts von ihm unterdrückt, wenn Schlüsselbegriffe wie "fossile Lobby" o.Ä. (egal in welcher Sprache) genutzt werden! #FossilLobby #SocialMedia ⬇️

Eerste versie van de blogpost om van #LinkedIn af te stappen heb ik gedeeld met een groep mensen. Wellicht iemand gemist, want het aantal DM's was groter dan verwacht. Aankomende dagen verzamel ik de feedback om het artikel met stappenplan verder uit te breiden, inclusief meer veelgestelde vragen.
Status: Operatie LinkedOverAndOut started
I have closed my #LinkedIn account. I closed it with the following reason: "I mostly get contacted by recruiters nothing of value is lost.". Drop the #BigTech. Going to look for a #european alternative, or many none at all... we will see

Més i més gent que intentaven afegir valor dins del seu camp de coneixement estàn despedintse de #linkedin
Que curiós que fins aquí es poden trobar hashtag com #linkedinexit
