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)
This is going to be very hard as I think many people are on linkedin for one thing. Career. I use linkedin but if I can ever retire I will keep it but exclusively in case someone I worked with needs a reference. I think the inertia on linkedin is higher than any other website kind of thing.
Agreed on the inertia, but we have to start somewhere, it seems. Seems worth looking into, to me. Considering my options here…
