I do have a Linkedin account and I use it for 2 things:
- occasionally search for jobs
- add my colleagues as connections
I never:
- read posts
- give likes
- share, follow, post anything
- enable notifications
It works great!
Ask HN: What LinkedIn alternatives don't suck?
61–63 of 63 posts

#62Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not really. LinkedIn shows random posts with 2k+ engagement unrelated to your connections and they are the cringiest post that end with "agree?"
Looking at my feed i only see posts my connections like (although these are often cringy posts) and pages i follow. I do use an adblocker, so perhaps the random posts you see are promoted posts?
I don't think so.
These are just popular posts from "influencers"
Re: Ask HN: What LinkedIn alternatives don't suck?
#63Just don't use the features that you don't like (e.g. the feed) and don't accept random connections. I only accept my colleagues and no one else, even the recruiters.
Keep your profile, and update your status when you want to look for a job. That's the only feature you need from LinkedIn.
