Seriously. We need some kind of federated replacement. Who is building this?

[WJW]

Be the change you want to see mate.

[reg_dunlop]

It's odd, yeah?

We have the ability to vibe these things over a weekend, yet getting to the critical mass/tipping point of adoption is something else.

Whatever happened to: if you build it, they will come?

[HWR_14]

It only took a weekend to build a social network preAI

[jll29]

If you want it to happen, we should talk requirements - what would you want from a LinkedIn NextGen?

- A professional profile page

- Contacts

- Introductions/referrals

- Ask my (sub-)network?

Anything else?

A way for you to make money that isn’t ads / harvesting my data.

Exportable format so I can leave if needed.

[reg_dunlop]

It's tough to generate revenue that isn't through ads.

That said, if the users could organize into special interest groups and create a walled-garden with default no ads, and then gate-keep advertisers to a permitted white-list.

I dunno, I'm just spit-ballin

You want the unemployed to pay? Or do you want the employers to pay? If you want the employers to pay, how do you attract enough attractive unemployed to your site?

[traderj0e]

Employers pay, unemployed will go where there are places to get jobs. But this assumes employers are unsatisfied with LinkedIn somehow. Are they?

Works for baseball fields, not websites

in movies, not RL

[somat]

It's called "The Web"

[johnecheck]

sifa.id aspires to that.

Wishing Guido (gui.do) the best.
