LinkedIn’s new “Boost” feature feels eerily familiar… #enshittification or platform decay!

Pay-to-play visibility, algorithmic reach throttling, and the slow creep of ad-first design. Sound like Facebook? That’s because it is.

LinkedIn now lets you pay to promote posts just like FB ads. “Boost this post to reach people who matter to you.”
Translation: organic reach is dead unless you pay up.

This is exactly why I’m on the #fediverse

No ads. No algorithms. No manipulation. Just people, ideas, and genuine connection.

Social media doesn’t have to be a marketplace. It can be a commons.
And I’m proud to be here.
