I don’t think activity is bad on LinkedIn, if it’s relevant. Some of the best articles I’ve read in 2019 haven’t been in places like Medium, Dev.to and all those other “blogs that are mostly just wordy twitter opinion posts” places. It’s been on LinkedIn. I’ve also seen some fairly interesting discussions on things like ageism in the workplace, hiring practices and some such and I’ve seen a lot of people find jobs, make sales or simply share code by reaching out. All that is great in my personal opinion.
If I see you posting one of those “a great leader...” or any meme/Facebook types post, you’re removed as a connection instantly however. Because I really don’t want my LinkedIn feed to turn into Facebook. That’s not activity though, it’s a matter of what content people share, and I value a lot of activity if it’s interesting.
But maybe I’m alone in this?
- hitekker 7y agoI haven’t seen those kinds of conversations on LinkedIn; would you have a moment to share some links?
- jpindar 7y agoIn my experience, the really good discussions happen in the more specific groups, which for me would be the ones related to c, embedded, etc.
- sofaofthedamned 7y agoYup. To me LI is a necessary evil, a online CV. Anything like that is an instant unfollow.
- jezarnold 7y agoit used to be.. it evolved. Find some people that you admire, and follow them. See what they say. Interact with them. see what you get out of it
- wyclif 7y agoAgeism in the workplace is definitely an appropriate topic on LinkedIn, because LinkedIn is about work. To me, anything that is not work or business related is crossing the line.
