Xing is made in Europe but by now also changed hands a few times.
Big social media will always end up in the hands of big corps. I personally just quit LinkedIn a few years ago because it brought me no value.

Thank you, Xing seems to be very German oriented but I will give a try
What functionality of linkedin in particular? The job searching? Or the CV?
More like the professional social network. Be in touch with colleagues and ex colleagues so I think it goes with the CV part. I'm not very interested by the job searching
The problem of a social network - as seen with Mastodon etc - will be that if it exists, your colleagues and ex colleagues are probably are not on it yet.
Xing is probably your best bet as it is majorly owned by a German company
You are right, but to build a community we need early adopters.
Really wish we could have a fedi LinkedIn
Interested as well
