there you go 

 I try to remember to log in to LinkedIn every other month to see if I have messages. Thanks for your reminder. No messages in the last months. 

 What are the features of LinkedIn you would like to bring to nostr? I see:

* Skill endorsements!
* CV: When did they work for whom in which position? It would be great to have a dedicated event kind for that, to make it machine readable. Although with LLMs, it can probably be distilled from their posts cheaply, soon.
* Skill Assessment ... used to be a thing. TIL it was removed almost a year ago. As it was based on tests you did in the browser, it's probably trivial to cheat especially with LLMs. But still, if some school attests to some skills of mine, they should give me a nostr badge. 

 None.

I’d like to see LinkedIn burn in a fire. It’s has zero redeeming features that the free market can’t provide without the backing of Microsoft.

Fuck LinkedIn. It’s an absolute shithole. It should be the first thing we all get off and we don’t need a replacement. 

 Have to say I agree. It’s a cesspit of desperation mixed with ego. Do not copy anything from LinkedIn. A NOSTR jobsboard would probably be enough. 

 I echo your sentiments in spirit but not yet in practice. We’ve let LinkedIn become the platform it’s become; yes, move away from it. It will burn itself down eventually. 

Already, everyone self-censors in positive business-speak. Anyone who falls outside that guardrail gets shadow-banned. 

 The badge thing is really cool. I was playing around with it a year ago but now focused on payments. This could evolve to everyone being able to issue verifiable credentials and you decide based on your web of trust if you will honour the credential. 

 LinkedIn is one of the worst with respect to data collection, but it's become indispensable as a career tool...

I agree--a Nostr equivalent would be awesome!
