I love how media is always ‘Nooo we can’t ban facebook because it undermines democracy because this dog hairdresser club in the suburbs use it for member communication twice per year’

Why do we need social media? Can’t we just not have social media?

I know a lot of people are dependant on them now, but substitutes for the really important bits already exists :)

Also fair enough.

I will try better phrasing next time :)

Whoah there, buddy. Easy on the misinterpretations.

My point is that taking action is most likely to occur when there is a strong, present motivation. Not just for email provider choices, for everything.

I KNOW privacy is important. But switching something you already use out needs to be exciting.

To be honest, switching for privacy feels like a chore.

Which is funny because it is the way to go - trusting linkedin to do it for you is the long way around. If you don’t have it, you will need to be more active (and that will be more succesful).

But i see recruiters having a harder time :)

This is just a short note to promote the idea:

In supermarkets people have started turning us products upside down to signal - without destroying - that this product should be avoided.

Just for those that haven’t seen it :)

Deleted it. Haven’t missed it all.

Everyone i know that actually used it for job hunting, found themselves in line with 8000 other auto-applications, so I don’t even think it is good for job-hunting.

When/if i need a new job, I’ll much rather call up previous colleagues and contacts and see what they’re up to and meet for coffee.

As a European… where is this freeloading and how can I get me some?

As an EU citizen please just give me slow but steady growth. Consistency beats irratic knee-jerk sprints and is a lot less risky.

But also boring

Slow and steady, please!

It is working. Keep boycotting US everyone!

(Americans we still love most of you as individuals, its just … the threats and backstabbing by your leader is a bit much)
