The inconsistency market

In the last few days, LinkedIn sent to me an email to celebrate the anniversary of my registration: there are 14 years that I own an account. After I unsubscribed from Twitter, it is now the oldest social account I have. But it’s the least used, and that’s the least representative of me.

Without mincing words, I think that LinkedIn does not represent no one of their users. It is simply a tool and has no humanity: it useful to show a mannequin of oneself, and to exhibit their stand to prove their crap. They use words as skill, references, leadership, partnership, management, network, possibilities and so on. And that does it in a way that sway from the §embarrassment and the ridiculousness.

To be clear, I used LinkedIn in the past, and I’m sure that I will use it again because it is necessary to float in a sort of business world. But I would like to utilize its email as a justification for writing this post and leave here a reminder: I am not my LinkedIn account.

I’m my email participation, the sociality of my Mastodon profile, my picture stories and the teaching of my books. And I’m this my blog. In addition to everything else.
