       This is my first post on GoToSocial. I'm on Mastodon and several other Fediverse instances (as indicated via the biolink page referenced in my profile). I'll keep this short: I'm testing GoToSocial to see if I want to set up a small/personal instance for myself, and possibly a few friends to use.I will make some more posts from here, just to get a feel for the system. I will say I like the fact that GoToSocial is designed to work with numerous frontends. That's one of the things that has attracted me to it. (And some of the features I've read about in the documentation.)#introducemyself

       @tristen @davidrevoy I'm not David, but I recently started carrying an A6 size notebook with a pen loop & pen attached. It's small, convenient and fits in a pocket. And I have Obsidian on my phone so I can transfer any written notes over to my computer easily.

       @johan I'm surprised that the idea of creating a LinkedIn replacement didn't come up... Some kind of federated employer / employee networking platform in the Fediverse could be interesting. (Although, so far, my thoughts on how to approach such a project have been not been fruitful...)

       @zzepposs @johan I see what Johan did using the JSON resume template as a starting point... And that is a start, however it doesn't have the functionality of a LinkedIn.I kind of hit a brick wall with the concept... The big thing that LinkedIn does that other social websites don't is they link your resume to a database of businesses. And making connections largely evolves around your resume (ie, connecting with co-workers from the businesses on your resume).That's a concept that I don't have a clue how to approach in a Federated network.

       @johan @zzepposs Linked data to what, exactly? Legitimate businesses? Who's the authority? What verifies someone's claim that they were employed by a specific company or institution?It's a bit more involved when you consider the whole model LinkedIn was able to come up with.Linked data would definitely be a method for correlating the data. It's how the data is actually located, and all the operations that need to be performed on it that are more complex.

       @johan @zzepposs Yes, but that doesn't do a whole lot...What I am talking about is claiming that you worked for a company that you did not work for.I believe, IIRC, that businesses that meet some (unknown) criteria can set requirements.  For example, I can claim I am an IBM employee, but unless I have an email address on an IBM domain, and can respond from said account I won't be verified.This determines whether LinkedIn will try to connect you with other employees from a company... It has an effect on how your network is built, since LinkedIn networks are multi-tiered and have implied relationships.

       @zzepposs @johan Interesting - I hadn't seen that one before.  Three person project, AGPLv3 license. Looks like a kind heavy installation.Only real objection that some might have is the use Claude in writing it.

       @stux IMO - I would hold on to it for now. Yeah, you could probably make a killing on it, but do you have enough backup hardware in the event that you have a catastrophic failure with your current systems?

       @stux Fair. My mistake. I was thinking this was more opportunistic than out of necessity...
