👋 Welcome!
I activated this discussions section just to inform everybody, that something strange happened to my LinkedIn.
What happened ?
I got this message from LinkedIn Sunday Sep 16th:
What was that video?
I sent this Youtube video link in private chat to one contact, whom I was having discussions around helping teams in Ukraine. Trustworthy contact, referred to me by third party and whom I contacted like week ago.
So what happens next ?
I appealed message, contacted support and got typical 'cannot do anything, directed to another department' answer and shortly after I lost access to whole page. I did verification with my governmental ID for LinkedIn and nothing ever since.
Other incidents
Just week before, I discussed in LinkedIn private chat about some capability of Edgemap and related technologies. Got asked to 'Signal group' which I genuinely believe is valid invite, but since I had no Signal on my iPhone, I did not immediately jump into that. But tried to install Signal couple of days later from App store. And you guess the rest. iPhone gave me strange 'cannot complete' error after Signal was installed and I tried to sign in. So no Signal either for me :)
Conclusions
No conclusions yet, I'll have to wait few days to see how LinkedIn sorts this out. But this is not the first time I see things going on around technologies I work with. I never thought that Edgemap and related capability would be any issue - and I still believe so. But my last summer post (in LinkedIn) about 'vetted github' is now again valid. I've noticed a lot of activity around my projects and being open source developer in these turbulent times includes clearly some challenges.
Check back into this discussions, I'll update here, if any progress. Be also prepared to the fact that Github shuts doors as well, that's resilience!
