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 have used Friendica. It might appear useful as a base for a fedi-linkedIn, but not in its current state. It does the basics, but only barely, and it’s not particularly stable. The instance I’m on falls over regularly (for days or weeks), despite the admin’s best efforts. It feels like a new project, instead of something that has been under development since 2010.
