Now we need an activitypub linkedin
Please, no.
For what it's worth, I don't understand why anyone needs any linkedin.
It's the only way you can reach a recruiter. They are always on there. Sometimes you need to play the corporate game
What? Its great for osint
Corpo drones must keep a page up similar to an onlyfan model.
Got to keep daddy thristy for that sweet labour.
It's in fact the only social media I have. Nobody wants my visiting cards anymore, it's always "do you have linked in". In the years I have LinkedIn, it actually didn't gave me anything ever. Why the fuck do I use LinkedIn?
They added some pretty cool daily puzzle games last year. I have been using it for those, and only those. I really dif the Queens game, I couldn't find a version of it to play elsewhere.
Which part of LinkedIn? The social media part? The CV part? The job board part? E-learning?
What would the federated, non-social media parts even look like?

Linkedin getting a social media part is really the proof that enshittyfication is fucking everywhere.
The profiles. You know, the place where I can get the list of people who work for a company and what they do and then email them directly when the company fucked something up and support has failed me.
Would you want to get such a message after you or someone inf your company fucks up? I don't think that's what the goal of a job profile is...

Yes. If customer support doesn't understand that there is a vulnerability on the website, then I would definitely want to know about it
I've emailed CISOs directly this way, who have thanked me.
That case makes sense does make sense. I'm concerned about abuse however. Imagine if you worked for a game company as a dev, put your profile on the fediverse and angry idiots started sending you complaints, spam, or worse. That would drive people away.
On LinkedIn there's some semblance of professionalism in messages (yes I know of the crazies on LinkedIn). Making profiles publicly available to multiple servers will require proper guardrails to prevent abuse and spam.

I dont message them on likedin. I email them off site.
All I need is their first and last name.
Don't let your dreams be dreams! I know theres a lot of people have stated they are interested. I'm personally not sure what things you would like displayed to others with activityhub specifically.
