    Yes? I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make now. CVs, skills, etc sound specific to this so they wouldn’t be federated. Social features like posts, replies, comments would be, as they match ActivityPub, they’re not extending the protocol or anything for it.

    So I really don’t understand why you’re so upset at the app. If you don’t want the professional stuff then it’s as simple as not signing up for an account. If you don’t want any social things from them then it’s the same as any activitypub: defederate or block.

    You don’t like it, I think that’s obvious, but I don’t understand the multi-comment thread where your argument seems to be “I don’t like it so it shouldn’t exist”. You don’t have to understand why other people find it useful for it to be useful to those other people.

      I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make now.

      The point is professional platforms should not be filled with whatever whims come across your mind that day. It is a 100% completely redundant function, in the wrong place.

      I really don’t understand why you’re so upset at the app…I don’t understand the multi-comment thread where your argument seems to be “I don’t like it so it shouldn’t exist”.

      I don’t understand why you think I’m upset. You seem to be equating the number of comments I write with some sort of level of anger. In which case, I must ask why you’re so upset? I just think it’s dumb.
