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 Is it this setting?

@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.

@anderseknert we have a "recent" option but it's still full of "likes" vs actual interactions between people.

it's available in the US (choose time order rather than "recommended"). you can also choose to not see political posts.
it's still the cesspool that is linkedin but is a shallower, easier to wade through cesspool.

I'm doin' it
️ De-enshittifying LinkedIn.com for the little that I actually use it. It's a GOOD thing.
