It would be in spirit to not add a button. Or a button that keeps moving as the mouse approaches it. Or some dark pattern somehow :)
Satire would be to graciously close the account and immediately delete all data.
Not urgent will email later.
You could instead go the NYT subscription cancellation route and require me to either phone or IM.
(And then have ridiculous IM response times)
Wow so cool to see this here! I’m the co-creator of this and happy to answer any and all questions. Shlinkedin is definitely a bizarre passion of mine so it’s awesome to see it resonate - turns out a lot of people find a lot LinkedIn ridiculous :) This has also been a good excuse to learn Elixir/ Liveview. I’ve made all the code open source if anyone wants to take a look! https://github.com/cbh123/shlinked
How was working with tailwind in Elixir? My understanding is that Liveview does SSR paired with a very light JS/AJAX framework to keep state on the client, similar to htmx for example. Tailwind however generates tons of CSS classes that you might or might not use, so it parses your HTML and "purges" unused classes afterwards. It seems that this is far easier if working with a more mainstream framework. Did you have a…

Yeah. True that. Not urgent will email later. You could instead go the NYT subscription cancellation route and require me to either phone or IM. (And then have ridiculous IM response times)
Hahahaha the marketplace is pure gold on that site. I am all in

Any chance of adding a Keanu Reeves setting to the content generator?

I agree with this sentiment. LinkedIn is completely vapid and full of all sorts of signaling with no effort, but there's sort of a corny charm to it. Like a compilation of office H.R. instructional videos. I'm sure that future decades' equivalent of vaporwave will incorporate LinkedIn imagery into their retrospectives of the '10s. The data gathering that undergirds it is probably bad though, or at least when the site…
That's why you never let Linkedin access your mail. More than five years since I created my profile there and it asks me every single time I login if I want to invite my contacts.
I think part of why I like shlinkedin (i'm the other co-founder btw), is that it gives folks a place to vent about all that shit in a fun way. And I think it's probably healthy for people to take LinkedIn less seriously—maybe this'll nudge 'em towards that.
LinkedIn is the very worst social network… except for all the others. I agree, it’s a complete joke of corporate gushing and posturing and humblebragging and wannabe “thought leaders”. And this is a great parody. I appreciate the work here. And yet. There’s a kind of innocence to LinkedIn, no? It’s the feeling of a recruiting call or a job interview, where everyone involved knows it’s a completely artificial atmosphe…
"LinkedIn is comparatively safe relative to other communication platforms because it is not used for real communication" is not exactly a strong defense.
1. Saw this
2 Didn't take offence to it
3. Thought it was funny or true or both
4. Decided to share and started a linked in post
5. About to hit the share button
6. Paused and thought "my ex bosses are still there!" "Tech industry is way too small".
7. Finally hit share!
I got to step 6!!
Oh boy oh boy I hope the site creator reads this. I've had an idea for years now to make a satirical reddit/hn. I call it 'skimmedit'. Please steal my ideas. 1. Instead of subreddits, content is sorted by font. The available fonts are Helvetica, Comic Sans, Times New Roman, Wing Dings, Arial Wide, Papyrus and braile. 2. When you submit a link, the title shows up as blue and underlined but is not actually a hyperlink.…
