    I support the idea of a federated employment platform. However I see no reason for an employment platform to have social features.

      I have only received jobs for the last 10 years via social features. I hate it, I don’t enjoy it, but networking and people skills are the way to a good network. I started blogging and recruiters started pinging me regularly. It has a place

        Thats great, you can network and have people skills on social media and link from there to your professional bio. There’s no reason for them to be in the same place.

          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 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.
