    An LI alternative wouldn’t be super helpful, you would need mainstream and companies to want to use it, and any open alternative would fail to meet that goal. The wants of the employee and the wants of the employer don’t mix, thats why LinkedIn looks so bad to the employee. It’s not meant to be for the employee, its meant to be for the employer. If it was the other way around the employers wouldn’t use it.

        don’t take me wrong. I would love an alternative as well! I just think that the personality of the fediverse as a whole goes against what companies are actually looking for in partners
