Does shadow banning happen on LinkedIn? I wouldn't trust them. They'll happily take down everyone they don't agree with in a heartbeat, then one day go "Oh. What happened to all our user engagement?" (Maybe we did go a little overboard).
I think a similar play happened on YT after the great cull over there a few years back, when several purged channels said after a couple of years of banishment, that a "come back, we miss you. Xxx" message suddenly popped up 2 years later.
My Twitter account has been in a permanent state of shadowban since March of 2020, and it can stay that way for all I care.
These tech tyrants think they can just cast you out into the wilderness, then reel you back in at will.
What they don't realise is that we move on.
As does our momentum and enthusiasm for when they were flavor-of-the-month.
Pretty soon they're just another MySpace or Reddit.
I don't trust them. Nor am I very excited about having my account back.
It's a place to promote my Substack, and that is all that it is likely to be. I'll use it for that and get the subscribers I can. That's the sum total of why I am returning there.
Guess, I don't really get it, but then again I never used LinkedIn. I thought it was a website for making contact with other people in your profession or for expanding business contacts. Why do they care what people write about????
Congrats, but screw LinkedIn. I had 15 years 100,000+ direct contacts, hundreds of articles, 8 booming groups with 10,000+ member each. All wiped, with no recourse, because of posting a Zelenko ivermectin article that got 100k hits, mostly from big pharma including 50 CEOs (I have snapshots). This was pre EUA!
I don’t do LinkedIn on the weekends, but when I get back to the office on Monday I will send you an invitation.
I have about 1,300 connections across banking, finance and professional service providers. I have already stigmatized myself on the platform for posting and liking “true” content over the past few years. I would be honored to help spread your “misinformation” there.
Glad you are back on! But LinkedIn is just part of the Deep State cabal, as I wrote about in https://blaisevanne.substack.com/p/how-technology-went-from-freedom Not that I"m Bill Gates' best friend, nor Larry Ellison's et al; however, I have been in IT since 1985, and am the creator of the Server+ certification, which when I created it 20 years ago was formally used by Intel, HP, IBM, Adaptec, Novell, Compaq, etc. So, as the State Farm commercial says, I know a thing or two, because I've seen a thing or two.
Yes, I agree. When you are facing large waves, you point the bow right into it. In football, which I played at university, often the best game plan is to run right directly AT their top guy. My only point is to illustrate, historically, that there is something rotten in Denmark... as well as San Jose, Redmond WA, etc.
Hell, for all I know this just means they are on the verge of collapse and are just that desperate for users.
For now, I have a bit more social media presence, and maybe that translates into a few more subscribers here. Also, it gives me a chance to see how posting my articles on LinkedIn impacts site traffic here.
If the engagement level does return, then maybe I hit the mother lode and get enough paid subscribers to be able to focus on my Substack full time.
Well you are probably right to keep your guard up, so just upload all of your economic and fiscal policy content there first and see how it goes...so sad that we have to play like this in America...
I thought about that, but I'm not going to cherry pick what I share where. What I write I share across all the social media platforms I use. I'm going to keep doing that.
If I get bounced from LinkedIn again, so be it. I won't play a self censorship game by being "careful".

I’m happy for you, but I still don’t get LinkedIn. I don’t understand how it is supposed to work. I’m on there, but 🤷🏻♀️.
It's supposed to be social media for the "professional" class. The focus is on people advancing their careers and promoting their businesses.
It was a social media platform that I had a fair amount of success in using.

It's a social media platform for "professionals". It's historically been a place where one keeps up with their resume, their publications, et cetera.
And like the rest of Big Tech, it got 110% behind the Pandemic Panic Narrative, including backing the mRNA inoculations.
I didn't agree with the narrative, and (obviously) still don't.
It doesn't make sense to me either.

Fuck 'em. They are part of the problem.
They must be fascist boot lickers .
They're owned by Microsoft. Do the math.
This is good news.

Of course LinkedIn is part of Big Tech.
But that's the point. Speech is hardly free if we run away from hostile territories.

We will soon see how it unfolds.
This is great news and makes me hopeful that you will be able to impact more people for the better! Yay team 🙌
Thanks!
Apparently, there is still hope for our side yet!
I hardly ever go onto LI anymore bc they took everyone good off or down, so maybe they got the hint that it was bad for business?
Who knows? I figure I'll find out soon enough.
