A professional social network, on the fediverse. AKA a "decentralised" alternative or addition to- LinkedIn. https://flockingbird.social
With some friends, I've been on this for months now, doing all the "less fun stuff" such as interviews, market-research, businessmodel, designing, aligning needs[3], concepts etc. And the more fun stuff, such as proof of concepts and lately some actual programming (yay).
"The fediverse" is providing invaluable feedback and ideas, as did interviews. If HN has some ideas (even if it is: it will fail, here's why) please tell me! (alternatively leave an issue on github[1] or a toot on mastodon[2]).
Most important question: would you put your profile/resume/CV on a decentralised professional network and why (not)?
Secondly: Would you be interested in running a small social network just for your co-workingspace, colleagues, company, alumni, startup-hub, businessnetwork, etc?

Probably not, but only for the same reason that I won't post it in the "Who Wants a Job" threads here -- privacy/anonymity online. But if I was someone who had it posted on my website, I would have no problem posting it to a decentralized network as well. IMO just further surface area for potentially finding your next job!

Maybe, depends on how much work it is to get set up and running, and how helpful it is (how much social/professional capital I would gain for doing so).
