Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁

I just reviewed this awesome fediverse list, did a broad search, and checked out /alterative.to -- but no luck.

Is there nothing on the fediverse that can take the place of that bloated, spyware site run by MS?

And, if I were to start working on it, what roadblocks would I run into? Thanks!

ETA: These are the features I would want to see in a replacement service, since you asked:

  • really decentralized - anyone can stand up a server instance
  • post your profile - list your resume, skills, education, interests, charities, publications, etc...
  • link to friends, co-workers
  • post your business - allow people to say they work / worked for you
  • post Posts to say things to your friends and colleagues
  • post Jobs - tell people you're hiring, how to contact you (off site, on some other service)

I could see some kind of LinkedIn type Fediverse for gig work, but I don’t think a copycat of LinkedIn is a good use case. I’m not anticapitalist per se, but I think LinkedIn is a capitalist cesspool that encourages primarily the worst in humanity - self aggrandizement, transactional relationships, and severance of work life vs community.

I come to the Fediverse to find community and escape all of that.
