I think this is a good point. Another person made a similar comment. And I it totally makes sense. Like I could serve my resume on my personal website and then just link it to a short description on a Lemmy instance or channel that was relevant.
That makes it at least a little harder for data scrubbing bots to get my info when I'm not looking for a job. I can just take my resume off line. With kinked in you basically come to the employee store, find a shelve and you permanently glue your resume there hoping that someone would call you. So all your info is right there for any phishing to take place later.
Yeah for real I feel like if I log back into LinkedIn and update my profile I start suddenly getting more spam lol
As far as networking you've got the right idea, there's no reason to rely solely on designated networking sites for it.
Start with literally anyone you know (close friends and family) and go from there :)
