Are the main shortcomings of LinkedIn adequately addressed by an open-source, federated model?

Thereโ€™s more transparency involved with allowing the community to inspect the code and decide on the direction of the project. Funding will be provided by donations. If people are unhappy they can always withhold donations and pull requests.

This is not going to be a carbon copy of LinkedIn, it would be a different beast.

Every instance can do their own thing. Youโ€™re not locked into the sole vendor microsoft anymore in this plan. Weโ€™re planning on hosting the repo on Codeberg.
