When a platform restricts access without notice, that is not a safety measure. That is a policy failure. LinkedIn® has quietly started blocking group owners from posting in their own communities unless they verify their profiles – with no warning and no grace period.

Best-performing posts
Ranked by likes, across everything we analysed.
Imagine moving to a new country where you know no one, there’s inherent racism and your considerable skills are apparently undervalued by employers. That’s what happened to Moumita Das Roy when she moved to New Zealand from India.
This is my first official post of 2026 – and it quietly marks something else too. I’m now into my second decade of focusing on LinkedIn. A lot of people who once wanted to “make their mark” here have come and gone. Some surfaced briefly as experts, then disappeared just as quickly.
We hear all the time that it’s not what you know – it’s who you know. But the thing most people miss is: who you know doesn’t just mean your closest contacts. It includes the people who know of you – and the ones who refer you because of how you show up online.
In the time I’ve been on LinkedIn – nearly a decade – there’s been scandal after scandal. There was the outrage when LinkedIn was taken over by Microsoft which has resulted in us having to pay for many of the features.
