If you've never heard of #Polywork - well, it's too late now anyway. They are shutting down in January.

Had an account there, but seriously wondered *why* i had an account there. Never understood the reason the site existed in the first place.

Erinnert sich noch jemand an Polywork? Sind auch in der Bedeutungslosigkeit verschwunden: »We are reaching out to let you know that Polywork will be shutting down, effective Jan 31st, 2025.« #polywork

»Dear Bjoern,

We are reaching out to let you know that #Polywork will be shutting down, effective Jan 31st, 2025.«

Hmmm ... naja!

Goodbye #Polywork, I barely knew or used you 🤣 :nkoWave:

It’s sad to see #Polywork shutting down. I was one of the first users of the platform way back and got to see how it progressed. From a business like network morphing into a website maker that takes your LinkedIn profile and turns it into a professional website.

Thanks Peter and the Polywork Team.

I had completely forgotten about my #Polywork until seeing this post 🤦🏻‍♂️

Real bummer to see #polywork go from a promising LinkedIn-killer to a lame #ai website generator. I was hoping to delete my LinkedIn account someday but today I deleted my polywork account instead 😩

This is a real screenshot from the founder's polywork site that they are showcasing. You can't even read the text!

Does anyone here still use #polywork and know how to get the timeline view back?

They removed it recently and posted that they brought back the view last month but I can't see the setting anywhere in the editor

I just want the old timeline view back

Deleted my #polywork account (https://polywork.com) today -- they swapped from a "Better Version of LinkedIn" to a crappy one-page website builder. No feedback opportunities on deletion so guess I'll just voice it here.

Really odd to go from social network to basic website page. Not at all what I signed up for, and other free platforms are doing it better. And the AI usage is gimmicky. Sorry.

Apparently #polywork decided to change their whole thing from "cooler LinkedIn for professionals to connect" to "crappy single page website builder with a cost and all look the same". Yeah that was an instant account deletion. I'm all set.

I'm far from a #UX expert, but imho when you have more notification categories than fit on a single page, it stops looking like a user affordance and starts looking like an excuse to spam you incessantly. 🤦‍♀️ #polywork

anyone here on the app #polywork? i now own the domain #prollywork. gonna add my shitposts there.

Bassem Dghaidi, Senior Software Engineer at Github, is one of my serendipitous acquaintances I made this year though #Polywork opportunities functionality. I was a guest at his podcast glich and the episode just was published today. https://anchor.fm/glich/episodes/E23---Examining-the-nuances-of-Software-Testing-e1sfqf3

Since the meeting, I have watched many videos Bassem creates. Comes with a recommendation, great conversationalist.

Someone on here mentioned #Polywork, a sort of LinkedIn alternative, which reminded me I have a profile page with nothing in it! Like any new social media, it suffers from being new (and therefore tricky to navigate) and struggling to reach a critical mass.
However, it is also a chance for reinvention, an opportunity to take stock and consider where to go, rather than where I have been. I view #mastodon in a similar light.
Here is a link in case you fancy a look. https://poly.me/dazzlingdamo

So… if I got the tl;dr of this #Polywork browser extension right this basically injects their own user profiles into #Twitter profiles by blending into the web page leeching into an existing ~~social~~ corporate network without any proper form of collaboration agreement in the name of early internet nostalgia.

Yes, all with data that is public already including a handy search engine.

That's also some way to federate I guess.

And here I ponder how #GDPR a #Webmention may be while this exists 😜

Are any of you lovely people on Polywork? If so, how are you finding it? I'm curious about it, but not sure if it's worth the time to fully set up a profile and engage. 🤔
