I closed my LinkedIn account and moved to the German Xing. It was the only EU solution I could found that resembled the US one.

That's one thing I cross of my US dependency list.

Never heard about it before so I thought it was newer.

I feel like it could only grow again if the EU starts actively pushing companies to favor EU websites to reduce dependence on the USA.
