I was today years old when I found out LinkedIn has a chronological timeline mode*, and why LinkedIn recommends against enabling it in the settings.

US friends are telling me it’s available for them too. Happy to hear that!
@anderseknert It's the only way I can tolerate LI. The only problem is you cannot use it on mobile unless you use the app (can be a downside when you're looking for work like I was last year).

I was today years old when I found out LinkedIn has a chronological timeline mode*, and why LinkedIn recommends against enabling it in the settings. Because once you do, you’ll see that people aren’t talking about AI, agents and LLMs anywhere near as much as LinkedIn would have you think. My feed just went from ~90% AI hype to one with only the occasional post on the topic. Almost as if one of the companies most invested in the bubble would use a platform they own to inflate it.
(Could be that it’s an EU-only thing? I remember hearing about an EU requirement like this in the past. If so, I’m sorry if it’s not available to you. The free market will sort it out, I’m sure.)
@anderseknert Oh, thank you so much for this! I wasn’t aware and wished there was some such thing. Turns out I just needed to look harder! Available in Canada too.

@chendricks yeah, this is wild! LinkedIn *almost* looks like a normal platform now. Someone told me they tend to “accidentally” forget your preference for this setting, so better check in on it every now and then. Or I guess the feed going back to eternal AI hype will be enough to tell.

@anderseknert I read LI much less than fedi and only because some people I want to connect with are only there. This should make it a bit more tolerable when I’m over there. Good to note that sometimes it may revert and needs rechecking!

@chendricks yeah it’s about 50/50 for me but that’s only because I use LI for work related things. Even with a non-algorithmic timeline it’ll of course never come close to anything like Fedi… but given the amount of time I spend there, this is a huge improvement.

@anderseknert Is it this setting?

@anderseknert Is it this setting?
@ringods yes

@anderseknert That's the one. Available in The People’s Republic of Kanuckistan as well.

I know this was possible on xitter also, except that xitter would sneakily revert to the algorithm after a while and you'd have to manually throw the switch again.
The "after a while" became shorter and shorter over time.
(I don't know what it's like now, I left a few years ago).

@anderseknert I have never been on Facebook (or any meta things) or LinkedIn. The free market is working for me ok.

@anderseknert This is the only thing that makes LinkedIn bearable for me.

@anderseknert
LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, so it’s pretty obvious why it would be doing that. -

@anderseknert I abandoned LI in the before times, but I think I recall similar experiences, both with the declutterring and the warnings of thou shalt not pass.

@anderseknert I have no clue how my feed looks like, haven't taken a look like 4 years. I only use it to keep in touch with a few people...

@anderseknert In the EU, it's pretty on display, at least in the mobile app. And yeah, the EU requires any social media to have an option for chronological order.
