LinkedIn is a classic echo chamber but believe me, you can make some very solid connections that will net you business and money down the road. It all depends on how much you are willing to be exposed to some BS. But even that you can control quite well IMO.

Some people prefer to post their articles/write-up on Linkedin. Some people prefer Medium, Hashnode or Dev.to.But I don’t like the Linkedin ecosystem and prefer self hosting.
