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'm not sure how it could be done without having central servers

Let's explore the following:

companies have their instances where they post their vacancies
there is a bunch of instances, bigger, smaller, some for one person only, where people post their resumes and use to browse the jobs
we could even add some tagging system into the mix, so you can follow a set of "#city #branch #technology" for example

In order for a job to appear on my instance, someone on the instance would have to follow the account of the company that posted the offer

for personal instances that would mean I would have to discover a company before it posts a vacancy. Most of the jobs I see on LI are from companies I have never heard of
for instances with multiple users, that would mean some would have the job post you are interested about and some not
if we tried to have regional instances (already a centralization), someone would have to maintain the federation list
some kind of discovery/bridge instance? Regional?

And then there is a question of privacy. I would not like someone on the instance of my current employer to possibly be notified of me sending a message to another instance

So decentralization of all that would be hard. And without decentralization, the instance would have to be pretty hefty and it will be just a matter of time until some big company tries to have a special deal with the body running the service. Or will simply drown out the feed compared to a company with just one job post

I guess it might work if the central instances were owned by employment offices. But at the time, most of local governance doesn't even post on fediverse
