What would the use of a LinkedIn Alternative be? Isn't it just a circle jerk for business'
I hate LinkedIn, but having a way to keep in contact with former co-workers is good from a networking perspective for finding a new job. Someone I hadn't talked to in 10 years reached out with a position they were hiring for, and that's not something I would have been looking for or known about.
The useful parts of LinkedIn are managing business acquaintances, and it'd be cool if there were a decentralized privacy preserving way to be able to maintain that contact list of people, without it being used to harvest data for some data broker somewhere.
I haven’t been on LI in so long. I only used it to network and find work. I couldn’t stand the insufferable posts and talks about B2B nonsense.
So would it not be better to have communities in Lemmy for that or hashtags for Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse for finding work / networking?
Actually, that’s a good idea. I never considered that.
