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 don’t understand what features from LinkedIn you are missing. Blogs are available in WordPress with ActivityPub installed, microblog posts are in Mastodon, etc. Etc.
The industry-wide de-facto networking and job recruitment part
Yep, see my ETA update in the post above. I want people (mostly outside the big corps) to be able to find work, list jobs, share news and stories, all in a decentralized server ecosystem. I want to destroy the idea that we need LI to do all of that.
Oh and I want all that in one service and it should include posting your resume / work experience, be focused on employment - like LI used to be a long time ago.
EDIT (added the project’s name, link):
I found this github project - FediWork, but it was based on Mastodon, which seems wrong IMO. And it’s not been updated in a long time now.
