#132This is precisely what would have happened if Apple had gotten away with their distributed image hashing scheme. Only in that case the falsely accused would be sent immediately through the justice system and forced to spend a fortune to defend themselves on the assumption that they were hiding the evidence.
google actually has done this with google images & a man who needed to text his doctor (sensitive) images

I absolutely cannot understand this perspective. I open LinkedIn to add somebody to my network, contact somebody, or look for a job/hire somebody, and for those things it’s really good. I don’t make any LinkedIn content, I don’t consume any of it, I don't struggle to ignore it entirely, and I don’t miss out on anything by doing so. Where exactly does it need to improve?
Same as you, but I cannot find a good configuration for the linkedin App to prevent it from sending me too many notifications. I get 5+ notifications per day related to "this message is trending...", "your contact posted this...", "you are invited to do that...." and buried between them, from time to time, contact invitations that are worth considering.
Using just the website works well for me.
Linkedin app is the last thing i am letting anywhere near my phone.
Re: LinkedIn blocked due Meshtastic video in private chat
#134I've always wondered about this. What happens if one of the big tech companies makes a mistake and closes your account? LinkedIn is pretty important nowadays when searching for work. Would you be able to make a new account? If not, that seems like a pretty big deal. Same concern with your email, or any of the other big services that we usually depend on. If I just suddenly lost my gmail, I would probably lose access…
This happens all the time, usually the service provider blocks the account, denies any error and refuses to reopen it, citing its terms of use (which provide for unmotivated account closure).
The idea is that losing a user costs infinitely less than legal fees, so when in doubt they pull the plug. I had direct confirmation from a gafam employee
There are many stories of paediatricians, healthcare professionals or parents wrongfully accused of paedophilia. They never got their accounts back.
I advised an association to buy a domain name and a paid email service and not to rely on Gmail. They didn't listen to me, and two years later Google cut off the account for sending spam or some other similar reason. They lost all contact emails with their suppliers, their accounting, invoices, etc. ...
Don't expect anything from the customer service of a free service. You are the product, not the customer. They will throw you out like rotten fruit at the slightest problem.

But LinkedIn wasn't like that 10 years ago. It was what it was meant to be. To me it feels like TikTok culture infesting all types of social media. At this point LI is beyond saving but a serious competitor would have to be heavily moderated to stay clean which we all know won't happen.

It definitely is not. It probably has the most job listings for most markets, but the experience of looking for a job on LinkedIn is appalling. They recently killed the resume builder, which makes me think that job searching/hiring is a side feature of LinkedIn.

I think most people would be... just fine? Personally I'm from a culture that is very distrusting of those big platforms anyways, so people are even less likely to rely on them. If my mom lost access to her google account she would be fine, my dad wouldn't notice (he has been using his own e-mail domain forever), neither would my brother (since he makes a new google account with every phone anyways, having forgotten his previous password), and I wouldn't be bothered much either. I've also been doing fine professionally for 15 years and don't even have a LinkedIn account.
It's a similar picture for everyone around me. Some Facebook account or whatever may have seemed important when we were 16, but by and large people grow out of that vain phase, or even grow out of using the likes of Facebook at all. Nowadays whatever can deliver a message will do. There's a dozen ways to each anyone.
If losing access to any one account is a big deal for you, that's more than a major technological literacy failure - it's a basic life planning failure. Do not overly rely on a single thing controlled by people you cannot trust. Even my grandmother would know better.

> To me it feels like TikTok culture infesting all types of social media. Social media is and always has been a mirror of the real world. Today's dominant real-world culture consists of virtue signaling, vague pseudo-philosophy, toxic positivity, and a hyper-focus on group identity. You can see this every time you read the news, but you can also hear it when you just talk to random people. The trend towards that cult…

I do wonder what you actually mean by this.
> Those who think social media has "corrupted" society are barking up the wrong tree.
There is clear, evidenced research around social media's negative effect on society.
