@glyph I left Linked in a year or two ago because it did nothing for my business and all I evrer saw was self promotion or fawning congratulations. It is all corpo BS and I don't need that. I work for myself by meself. Me and my 18 personalities a computer or 3 and something to play music when I am not on the phone.

@glyph my first impression of DHH was working with rails in the 00s and reading some of his opinions as a side-effect
He was an asshole and didn't know how relational databases worked. I distinctly remember how his rails docs implied doing the database's job (filtering and aggregating data) in one of the slowest runtimes on earth (ruby) was somehow "better".
Not terribly surprised a stupid, arrogant asshole ended up being a nazi. I still don't get how he wasn't written off as an idiot then
@beeoproblem @glyph Back in the early days of Rails I started building a few applications with it. Before long I found some methods whose supported API was unclear. I suggested to the developers that they really needed to add documentation comments. They said that they didn't need documentation because you could read the source code. That's when I decided they were idiots, and I stopped using Rails.

“Make a LinkedIn alternative” comes up every now and then.
What do you think we’d need?
Professional references? Searchable job boards? Searchable job histories?I bet if we figured out some basic requirements, it might not be that hard.

@glyph You may have triggered a filter. I mean.... that's still telling! But maybe you can repost using words other than "nazi" and "murder". Or censor them.
And let me be the first to say: UGH.

@benpate @nette like the only reason I am logging in at all in the first place is to get my writing in front of more people. I don't want any of the "tools" that they're offering, I just want to get words in front of the eyeballs that refuse to touch fedi. (Or entice them to come to Fedi, since every post has a "discussion on mastodon" link included)
-
@benpate @nette @glyph I am on the fence if this is a good idea or not, as companies may refuse to bite, but I think trying to find some way to track if some company is actually filling positions they post on the job board. There are a lot of job postings out there that are literally just data gathering.
Maybe try reversing the job search? Have people in pools and have companies request to interview them. Because afaict, the current model doesn't work great.

@glyph POSIWID: The purpose of LinkedIn is to prevent competition to corporations.

@PossumTV to be fair I wasn't really hiding the ball in the opening there

@glyph Yeah, they really don't like you calling people who've explicitly expressed Nazi positions Nazis. I can't think why

@benpate @nette @glyph theres a federated LinkedIn alternative in the works: https://bizzfed.de/

@glyph sick of hearing about David.. all he did was vibe code some dot files and people are throwing millions at him. It's ridiculous. Definitely a political motivation behind it all.

@glyph@mastodon.social You forgot to link to evidence. I am very sure if you had, it would have been fine. </s>
It is actually not trivial to find the evidence now, as Big Tech owned search engines are sweeping it under the rug. Go figure. -

@glyph I think DHH might not identify with this label and even find it insulting, so I guess this could be read as a personal attack.
Try writing another post, where you:
- note the increasing popularity of Omarchy
- mention some other ideas promoted by him, including ethnic cleansing and racial purity, preferably including quotes from his blog
- note the dangers of such rhetoric and how it relates to the nazi ideology (if you are able to find quotes from the nazi propaganda that would sound similar, I think it would be beneficial)on Polish linkedin there is a guy named Jan Blew who writes about relations between bigtech and the nazi ideology, and I don't think his posts are being removed

@glyph they deleted my account in 2017, during the first Trump white house. their human moderator farms curate and censor aggressively to their political agenda. life is so much better without it. highly recommend deleting your account before they do it to you.
I should add I used to know the founder back in 2006 and was on podcasts with the LinkedIn CISO after being deleted, and was told several times I could get special help to restore my account. I refused.
similarly I deleted my Facebook account in 2009 with a warning in 2011 that the Russian backed moderation was unsafe for democracy.
