Anyone else wish for a federated version of LinkedIn? (lemmy.world)

My tendency seems to be owning my own business and freelancing until I die (until I get stable enough to build my own products). I've been trying to connect with more business-minded people--"average of 5 people" type of mentality. Currently it seems that the only way of doing this is LinkedIn.

But obviously, LinkedIn is creepy.

Any other people think this? How having a federated business networking platform would be awesome?

With how much information about your location/job/career/relationship with other professionals on LinkedIn, I would rather to have 1 company I can trust to handle data/security/privacy concerns

On LinkedIn at least your profile is not public for EVERYONE to see

"company I can trust"

About that ...

I do hope fediverse will mature and reputable instances established. For now, I don’t think LinkedIn have any competitors, let alone better security/privacy. I do trust Microsoft in that regards than say Google/Facebook/Amazon, or any instance owners right now

Interesting point.
