Happy #GlobalSwitchDay

Unpopular opinion: your opinion is not unpopular at all.

A LinkedIn alternative, anyone?

[majorhavoc@programming.dev]

Mastodon seems to be filling this niche (professional networking and job seeking) at the moment. I'm curious if something more targeted is emerging yet as well.

[majorhavoc@programming.dev]

Yeah. This guide is going to make some rounds in my peer group. I've got a lot of dissatisfied friends who just need an easy guide to remind them what to try. Very cool!

[i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk]

It doesn't have an app, how is it buggy?

[undaunted@discuss.tchncs.de]

Unfortunately, the switch from YouTube to PeerTube has not worked for me so far. I can't find a decent instance (not full of right-wing/conspiracy content) with interesting stuff that also allows me to make an account.

I wish Boost understood the collapsible spoilers.

On my client, it's all expanded and I see all the formatting characters. It looks/works great in a browser though.

Element/matrix aren't part of the fediverse, either. It doesn't speak AP.

[aeronmelon@lemmy.world]

That person isn’t fucking around.

[batist@lemmy.world]

Good to hear. Just yesterday I decided to remove my LinkedIn account!

[souroak@lemmy.sdf.org]

Anyone on Loops? I tried signing up a few days ago, but the sign up page wasn't working. Now the landing page says they aren't accepting new users.

[jerkface@lemmy.ca]

sup is how I update my FreeBSD /usr/src tree! Twenty years ago.

[cmhe@lemmy.world]

Matrix is federated, Signal is not.

[prodigalfrog@slrpnk.net]

XMPP is an established federated messaging app with encryption.

[jerkface@lemmy.ca]

I miss Jabber so much. There was a brief time where my one XMPP client and an easy to install server could let me chat with everyone I knew, whether they were on ICQ, Y!, gchat, MSN, IRC, or AIM. We fucking HAD interoperability.

[lazycog@sopuli.xyz]

There isn't much information about "Sup", but if I had to guess it could be that dansup is making sup app with XMPP(rotocol) as the messaging protocol.

[biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works]

although it is federated, it isn't apart of the fediverse, as it doesn't use activitypub.

[pennomi@lemmy.world]

I’d argue it’s part of “the fediverse” but not “The Fediverse”.

[biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works]

Fair point, definitely still apart of the same style of platform but not the same protocol.

[prodigalfrog@slrpnk.net]

That would be rad if true ^^
