    It's been a while since I actively used LinkedIn but I think it is getting more popular for posting information with the decline in Twitter/X.

    I wonder, how many of our members have a LinkedIn account and how many of you actively use it? Can you tell us about any experiences using LinkedIn for advocacy?

    I did have but haven’t gone near it for many years. It always felt very work/recruitment focused and not somewhere I’d really want to get involved in or have welcomed advocacy myself. As you say things may well be changing though.

    I haven’t used it much myself for ME activism with my personal account but more people are certainly using it for that and a lot of ME groups now have accounts on it including one I run. The charity account doesn’t get huge engagement but it’s not much extra work to post the same material there we’re posting elsewhere.

    I don’t use it anymore as I can’t work but my partner does and will sometime share articles to try and increase general awareness. So it could be useful for that even if pwME no longer use it themselves?
