Lemmings, do you use any social media outside of the Fediverse? (leminal.space)

I'm curious if any of you still use anything other than fediverse. Since discovering it last year I've deleted all my non fedi social media, and it feels great!

LinkedIn for job shit only. I don’t like follow and comment and shit. I don’t really get the whole point.

The point is to network and make yourself look very successful and likable, a great lover or humanity, one of the best in your field but yet the most humble and grateful for all things that happen in your life... :)

You regularly post obvious uplifting quotes to your peers, who likes them and writes little comments back about how true that quote is, hoping to be promoted the next time there is a company reorg.

I can't stand it. :)

Surely this is just ass kissers liking and commenting on the bosses weird ass linked in ego trip?

Is anyone liking and commenting peer's linked in stuff thinking that'll score them a promotion? Why would the company care about this?

Where I have worked, try company arranges events at work, like cooking something, or some mystery game, and then takes pictures of that and posts on linkedin. Then they ask employees to comment and say how fun it was.

It's just HR marketing disguised as something else.

I too loathe LinkedIn, but have to use it. To make myself feel better, I spend an equal amount of time on shlinkedin afterwards.
