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 ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

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)

Abstracted from the business model of the website/company LinkedIn, what are the crucial aspects that you would want replicated in a fediverse equivalent of LinkedIn?

The essential components the way I see it would be the capacity to post jobs (with federation) and for users to have professional profiles that could interact with those job posting but could also make posts.

There is an immediate big question around sensitive communication, I would be worried that even if you put up signs everywhere not to send sensitive information through DMs or other means on a fediverse software like lemmy or mastodon as a user that problems would arise that would involve important bits of information being where they shouldn't. Idk, maybe I am overthinking this.

In a way I think something like SecureScuttlebutt with an actual chain of interactions and posts might be a really nice fit for this.

I haven't used Friendica, but I feel like it is already probably a decent fit especially with some minor tweaking.

I have used Friendica. It might appear useful as a base for a fedi-linkedIn, but not in its current state. It does the basics, but only barely, and it's not particularly stable. The instance I'm on falls over regularly (for days or weeks), despite the admin's best efforts. It feels like a new project, instead of something that has been under development since 2010.
