I wonder if it would be possible to devise a different/better version of LinkedIn?
Could you create a social media platform that takes the positive aspects of LinkedIn (large network of users that are, at least ostensibly, targeting ambition, hard work, and self-improvement) but that leaves behind the accompanying parade of inauthenticity, brand names, buzzwords, tropes, and recycled posts?
I wonder what this would look like? Would it be possible?
One idea… a social media platform where people promote, share, and encourage meaningful projects :)
Thoughts?

But it seems to be following more of the Yammer route, where it is still left to muddle along in benign neglect on the same path as pre-acquisition.
