    Sometimes I have to wonder, what’s it going to take to make people leave X?

    I mean, it was a shithole even before Musk bought it, 4 years ago, and it’s gotten predictably and steadily worse ever since.

        Now I have to remove LinkedIn - this a good reason! It over reduces my cyber footprint overall. I only have it bc it’s required for a places that I’ve applied about 60-70%.

          They did me the favor of removing my account when they asked for my ID “to protect my identity”.

      It’s a live experiment. How much a platform can enshittify before people leave? We are still going to find it out.
