It’s worth 4 trillion dollars now.

We’re fucked as a species. Make the best of what’s left, none of us are getting on the billionaire space Ark that hopefully gets wiped by a photoid before we can spread more selfishness

What do LinkedIn think that they’re achieving by upsetting people?

Sucking up to the fascists in charge of the USA. It's about winning favor with the powerful by preemptively persecuting those they hate.

Microsoft should now be banned from all further pride events.

This is why vigilantes like Luigi Mangione are celebrated. If I ever saw someone walking towards my building with a look of purpose and a gun, I’d hold the door open for them.

Another one bites the dust, may their stock prices crash and may their site become unused and taken down.

So, when are we getting the fediverse alternative to linkedin where we'll be protected?

It would be a cool job being paid by donations in making an inclusive decentralized open-source alternative that surpasses Xing. It would be very useful for cooperatives organizing.

there really isn't a future for USD culture, they're going to lash out and cannibalize themselves until they have to be put down by international effort

If I were you, I’d refrain myself from using it further.
