Of social networks, I find LinkedIn is the best if I have thoughts to share about professional life. (Probs no surprise there.)
The Twitter algorithm is all about generating engagement. Mastodon doesn't have an algorithm, and therefore, things that you post can just get lost in the wash.
LinkedIn kinda stands out for this because
- people are obviously primed to see work-oriented content
- most people don't post that often to it, therefore, there's less noise to cut through
- in my experience, my network there is more representative of my real life connections, increasing engagement with my content
@trinsec In my experience, it's very different from Facebook. I barely visit my Facebook anymore, despite having accumulated 1600 Facebook friends, through all my life adventures since 2004. It's mostly useful for Groups.
On LinkedIn, maybe it's just my generation, but it's almost totally professional content. I think they've also done a good job of integrating the unidirectional Follow model for getting content from people I don't personally know.
I'd say LinkedIn has arguably supplanted Twitter as the place where people talk craft stuff. Although it's a different style of discussion -- much less showboating and argument. But it can also be a bit bland and self-promotional.
