#Tumblr just confirmed (again) that it will be enabling ActivityPub. Which means that Tumblr is definitely joining the #Fediverse! https://wip.tumblr.com/post/773574776721702912/about-a-year-ag...
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.
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.
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?

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…
