Except, I don't want those people in my regular circles on my regular accounts, I keep work and personal separate. I'd prefer to have a separate account, just like this that's linked to my professional life. This fills that need for me

So create a separate account. There's no reason it needs to be on a dedicated platform.

So you want to separate things so they're all in their own little spheres... so that there's less dedicated services?

Where would I put my CV and professional details, my skills and abilities? I don't know man, I see some real value here, what's the harm of it?

On a separate, professional site.

what’s the harm of it?

The harm is filling a professional website with a bunch of noisy nonsense no one cares about. I don't need to see your federated OnlyFans profile when I'm looking for an employee.

Don't subscribe to users from there then, and even then doesn't sound like this would be federated?

On a separate, professional site.

That's quite literally what this app appears to be trying to do.

doesn’t sound like this would be federated?

Then why is "fediverse" in the title of the post?

That’s quite literally what this app appears to be trying to do.

Except it's not, it's trying to be another social media platform.

Yes? I don't understand the point you're trying to make now. CVs, skills, etc sound specific to this so they wouldn't be federated. Social features like posts, replies, comments would be, as they match ActivityPub, they're not extending the protocol or anything for it.

So I really don't understand why you're so upset at the app. If you don't want the professional stuff then it's as simple as not signing up for an account. If you don't want any social things from them then it's the same as any activitypub: defederate or block.

You don't like it, I think that's obvious, but I don't understand the multi-comment thread where your argument seems to be "I don't like it so it shouldn't exist". You don't have to understand why other people find it useful for it to be useful to those other people.

I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make now.

The point is professional platforms should not be filled with whatever whims come across your mind that day. It is a 100% completely redundant function, in the wrong place.

I really don’t understand why you’re so upset at the app...I don’t understand the multi-comment thread where your argument seems to be “I don’t like it so it shouldn’t exist”.

I don't understand why you think I'm upset. You seem to be equating the number of comments I write with some sort of level of anger. In which case, I must ask why you're so upset? I just think it's dumb.

Yes you are very passionate if you've left so many comments about this, which is why I go back to my base question - why not just ignore it then if you find no use out of it?
