What are the features of LinkedIn you would like to bring to nostr? I see:

* Skill endorsements!

* CV: When did they work for whom in which position? It would be great to have a dedicated event kind for that, to make it machine readable. Although with LLMs, it can probably be distilled from their posts cheaply, soon.

* Skill Assessment ... used to be a thing. TIL it was removed almost a year ago. As it was based on tests you did in the browser, it's probably trivial to cheat especially with LLMs. But still, if some school attests to some skills of mine, they should give me a nostr badge.

None.

I’d like to see LinkedIn burn in a fire. It’s has zero redeeming features that the free market can’t provide without the backing of Microsoft.

Fuck LinkedIn. It’s an absolute shithole. It should be the first thing we all get off and we don’t need a replacement.

Have to say I agree. It’s a cesspit of desperation mixed with ego. Do not copy anything from LinkedIn. A NOSTR jobsboard would probably be enough.

I echo your sentiments in spirit but not yet in practice. We’ve let LinkedIn become the platform it’s become; yes, move away from it. It will burn itself down eventually.

Already, everyone self-censors in positive business-speak. Anyone who falls outside that guardrail gets shadow-banned.
