Cool. But have you heard of DOrch Starter: $1 hosting with $0 upfront cost: https://dorch.cloud We even created a project to demonstrate how much you could do with the $1 hosting package: https://hnbyai.prjct.cloud

Hi. I tried reaching out on a different matter via mail, but your mail server seems to be throwing up some error. Doing some reconnaissance on your domain, I can see you might be able to use some help infrastructure wise. Can you reach out via bq.fn [at] dorch.one. I think there is a lot we could help you with.

Hey there. I am behind DOrch. Listed on your platform a few weeks back. Showing some love from here, and rooting for your success. Cheers

We don't have a big brand name yet, but would you be open to using our platform? I'm the founder and you would have direct access to me at all times.

@scarface_74 and @demosthanos, please let us not drag this further. Both of you are trying to help and I sincerely appreciate your contribution. I would find a way to exist without LinkedIn. Thanks guys.

It's a wake up call for me, albeit a bitter wake up call

If someone tried breaking into my account, I don't think locking me out of my account permanently is the solution for them. I have tried different browsers. I have tried both my mobile phone and laptop. I have deleted my app and reinstalled, yet nothing.

I could forget about the job aspect, since I'm not working on my startup. Hopefully, it takes off and I don't have to worry about job. But for investors, I'm not sure of how I would handled that. Regardless, I no choice but to find a way out.

If you can not equip your team with enough man power, why create problems that cause people to require help from your support.

I'm also surprised this has been taken off the HN frontpage. Is this an attempt to cover for LinkedIn?

I would, but I can't even access my account. Also, the campaign I created was drafted with the aid of their AI assistant. I have never ran anything illegal in the past. All I was promoting was my startup. I also used my personal card. And as for billing, I was using the free credit offered by LinkedIn themselves.

Oh man, I'm not within the EU. And even if I was, why should anyone have to get a lawyer over something like this.

I believe that. I have always felt that way about Facebook and X. But for whatever reason, I just never saw LinkedIn in that light. I guess I have been too comfortable with LinkedIn and never had a wake up call until now.

Oh man. I am done. I'm current working on my startup, so hopefully, I dont have to worry about getting a job again. I am only worried about investors who ask for LinkedIn profile, that is where I might have a challenge and I have to figure how to address that.

I might give it a try. But honestly, I am tired. When you type out paragraphs upon paragraphs, and all you get is a template response, that isn't encouraging.

Yeah. I typed long messages every single time and all I got was the same template response.

Oh, I have learnt the hard way. Life is already tough for a founder. And things like this only make you reluctant to get up in the morning.

I am really sad to see it play out like this, because I always liked the founder. That's probably the reason why I never saw a problem like this coming.

I would commend you for that. However, from past experiences, when you refuse to provide your LinkedIn profile, people often assume you are sketchy and have something to hide. But at this point, I have no choice but to figure out a way to work without LinkedIn

Actually I once tried to create a backup account. It was restricted immediately. But If I knew using the ad campaign would have triggered this, I would have avoided it entirely.

I have always been agnostic of closed platforms. But for whatever reason, LinkedIn never came to my mind as a platform to also hedge against. LinkedIn just never crossed my mind in that respect. But right now, it has happened, and its too late.
