I agree that LinkedIn is shit, but I'm not sure it'll be resolved by going fedi. IMO what would be more important is a better job posting board. LinkedIn job search sucks galactic balls. The "remote jobs" search option is a fucking joke. Keywords are so blatantly spoiled by SEO and LinkedIn refuses to clean it up.
Not sure if a federated job search board would improve the situation though...

"galactic balls" - I am so going to use this phrase...
I might as well
Its you again! Your signature always identifies you instantly.
I agree that linkedin is shit. Any form of alternative would be good but honestly, I‘m not using any social media that isnt democratic anymore. So my only chance at it is making it democratic.
Have a good one.
😂 Thanks, I was hoping it would've caught on by now, but that's fine.
Respect. LinkedIn shouldn't have been social media, but they went ahead and did it. I too would like an alternative.
You have a good one too 🙂

So.................. how do you add an automatic signature? Asking for a friend...
It's a keyboard shortcut that sends the keystrokes to the active window 😉 I wish there were a lemmy client that did it for me, but this is what I have to do for now.

Fair. I added it to my bio for now. Baby steps is how we learn to run.
I just went ahead and did something. Since I consider you very knowledgeable I would like to invite you to look at it and share your opinion. I‘ll send you the link if you‘re interested.
I agree that going fedi doesn't automatically solve the issues. However, moving it away from a multi tiered paid platform (they really tailored it so they could do this) and controlling the bots/scam accounts would be a completely different experience. I think fedi would at least solve the first one, and I'd expect would help controlling the second.
