Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

Went through a couple comments of both „still use it“ and „dont need it at all“.

We need a fedi linkedin clone

Its again totally obvious that we need a fediverse linkedin clone, especially geared towards work, with a full cv function, option to hide your personal data until you approve a future employer, ways like mastodon for companies to prove they are legit to even be able to see a persons personal data so they dont dox themselves to some rando.

I cant do it on my own but willing to help

I‘m unable to set this up so please take the idea and run with it. Probably just a mastodon fork tbh with specific features. If anyone feels like doing this and needs business knowledge from an entrepreneur/CEO perspective, lmk.

Thank you for reading and have a good one!

Shout less, please.

Also, no I won't develop your app. Could (maybe), won't.

I‘m not shouting. I‘m using proper headlines.

I could also not care less what you would or could do.

I‘m not shouting. I‘m using proper headlines.

Seen anyone else using them ?

I could also not care less what you would or could do.

But you use social media...

Yes.

I‘m interacting with you. That doesnt mean I care. I would care if you had anything constructive to offer, so feel free to start.
