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)
  • perishthethought@piefed.socialOPEnglish

    Yes, I think the structure of Friendica is closest but then I would add the ability to post your work experience in a loosely structured way, since sharing where you’ve worked, what your skills are, is what makes LI different from other social media. Thanks for these ideas.
