Your social profile is rented land

Your social profile is rented land.

The algorithm changes. The rules change. The account can get restricted. None of it asks for your opinion.

I decided to build my own house instead: mehrdad.ir

Everything that is actually mine lives there. Published work. Product pages. The project trail.

LinkedIn, for me, is the storefront facing the street. It has good foot traffic — but the deed is not in my name.

The point is not that LinkedIn is bad. The point is that good content should not live only inside someone else's platform. This post lives here — its permanent version lives on my own domain.

If your account access was cut tomorrow, which part of your professional identity would go missing?
