I know we love to hate on LinkedIn, but honestly there are plenty of reasons to want social features about employers and jobs. Reviews, salary discussions, union organization and all such stuff that employees could leverage against employers, for instance.

Of course that's not what LinkedIn is largely used for because it's full of employers trying to brand themselves or influencers trying to make an image for themselves. But it could be different, I think.

sounds like linkedin x glassdoor, really. except people on glassdoor are assholes too.

maybe it cancels out.

Reviews, salary discussions, union organization and all such stuff that employees could leverage against employers, for instance.

These are all things that could be designated to one or the other, as appropriate. There's no reason they need to be in the same place and every reason not to.

Not sure I understand - you think some of those things don't belong on the fediverse? What do you mean "one or the other"?

[-] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

1 = social media

"the other" = Professional business platform

I think these things should be separate.

I feel like that's an unnecessarily narrow view of what the fediverse can be. The fediverse is not only for any single particular social networking use case, like micro-blogging (Mastodon) or forums (Lemmy, Pyfed etc). It can be much more than that, and all of it at the same time. There's no reason why the fediverse should restrict itself to only certain social media use cases.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 11 hours ago

The fediverse is already broken up across way too many usecases, such that I have to have a profile for videos, a profile for podcasts, a profile for my blog, a profile for communities, etc. etc. and they want to add another one.
