We need an ActivityPub alternative to LinkedIn
It unfortunately would not take off at all because corporations love to gobble Microsoft products and proprietary big tech products in general, and LinkedIn is mainly used as a corporate social media type of platform.
start small, niches. get the techies and the artists and the rest would find out.
the difference is: anonymous and encrypted.
I almost got a new job but the employer couldn't pay me because I refused to give my real name.
While I fully agree with the encrypted part, the literal entire point is that it isn't anonymous
It exists to advertise yourself to the job market
thats also the curse of linkedin. imagine theres no advertising. compare it to say the burningman crowd where your art speaks volumes and your chosen name is the legend. an army of banksy's collaborating. there once was a dream of the web, and commercialization wasn't the goal.
Yup, just added 2FA to my LinkedIn account (not that I use it) and the first step says: "Set up an authenticator app
We could call it FinkedIN
I like this.
