It is an old product that is no longer relevant, and there is no longer any demand for it. Time to move on.

Any descent alternatives to Grammarly premium?

My LinkedIn ban was lifted today. It is not clear what reversed the decision. Whatever the reason was, it doesn’t matter. I appreciate all your supporting voices. Thank you.

Thank you. I have side question for you. Sorry, all this thread coincides with another thread about LinkedIn and me getting banned without knowing why ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37748263 ). As a job recruiter look

That can happen cause it some point some LLM folks are scraping HN. But then, aren’t the majority of LLM owners the same that own the social media products, especially the centralized ones. It is indeed scary where we are heading. Side ques

100% in agreement there and that is exactly why I focused solely on LinkedIn to build my network. Now it all vanished.

Thank you. If only I can talk to a human not a machine at LinkedIn. I am always getting the same automated response each time I try to reply to the ban email message. “ We've deemed the activity in your account is in violation of the L

Their term of service states that one cannot have more the one account. Plus, right before they permanently banned me they asked me to upload a government id to confirm that I am actually a human person and not a machine. They know what the

I was thinking on the same lines but we have Mastodon and Fediverse today that still need to grow beyond the techies of the world and include business folks or even recruiters. A supply and demand use case.

:) I also find the word “free” in freelancer as odd and contractor is for someone fixing your home. All are simply labels.

GitHub was a missed opportunity for me. After copilot, I dropped GitHub, both public and private code for serious code contribution, except for some necessary cloning or helping someone. I thought that LinkedIn is the professional forum, an

Another name for freelancer. I code and also have experience in managing IT teams. I decided to go solo and attempted to promote my experience via LinkedIn posts instead of GitHub code commits, for example.

The only thing that I was consciously aware of is that I was solely using the web version of LinkedIn on my phone. Last month they restricted my account and they told me that I am using an automation tool. I said that I am not. They did it

I am enjoying Gopher, BBS, IRC apps, and the sdf.org PDP terminals that make me feel like I am in the 90s again.

Thank you. I recently dropped my full time job to start a consulting job. I needed LinkedIn for the crucial networking during my early stages. Now I am completely banned without knowing why

Good point. I checked my private relay settings in iOS iCloud. It is set as “maintain general location” along with a description “ Maintain your general location to receive localized content, or enhance your privacy by using a broader IP ad

I have private relay enabled via iOS iCloud. I have no extensions installed. Preload top hit is enabled on safari by default. (Not sure if this is could be a factor). I only use safari across my devices. 2FA is enabled for LinkedIn and sav

I hear you. I just got officially banned permanently yesterday. I do not use their app except the web. Last month I was kicked off because they claimed that I am using an automation tool, which I don’t. The second time they kicked me out, t

Yeah, that too. However, the actual magazine itself makes you feel that you are in indeed in the 80s. It is like going to a newsstand as a young computer kid and getting the latest copy of the magazine

I have a built a personal library and read some but not all the books mentioned. However, what I have been enjoying the most is reading computer magazines of the late 70s and early 80s period. The magazines include Creative Computing, Byte,
