Since I am moving more and more away from BigTech (see here…), I was wondering if we need a Fediverse alternative for LinkedIn. I don’t even want to go into the details but LinkedIn shows the same bad symptoms as all other big “social” media plattforms.
Xing, Fediverse, …?
Yes, in Germany we have Xing, but Xing is mainly in Germany and they stripped a lot of community features that made it a bit unattractive.
Another Fediverse-account? Yes, would be an alternative. But LinkedIn just specialized on career-features. Like showing your past stations in your career and your profession in the profile. That’s just super useful.
Nolto The Professional Network That Respects Your Freedom
Then, just recently I read about “nolto.social“. Which aims at … well .. exactly that! Being an alternative to LinkedIn.
The Nolto startpage is pretty clear: Own your data. No algorithms, no ads, no lock-in. Okay, shut up and take my money. Oh, It’s free!
Import data from LinkedIn
I just signed up yesterday and exported all my LinkedIn data (which … isn’t a lot, since I deleted almost all content). Now my profile is filled! The career details, education and skills are all maintained. Great!
Connect!
Now let’s try who’ll join. Find me there!

Don’t worry, this blog has existed for long and will remain where it is. But I’ll give Nolto a chance as well.
