Nou...
Dan ga ik daar maar weer weg. 🥴
So I see #Nolto doing the rounds as a supposed #OS #LinkedIn alternative
Judging from the Codeberg issues [1] and the self-professed ignorance of the prompter about fundamentals of federation and software dev [2], it seems highly likely that Nolto is vibe-coded
Superficially feature-rich but lots of loose ends and basic errors, this is a privacy and security disaster waiting to happen — I would not touch this with a barge-pole 😬

@simonjust Man bør lige tænke sig to gange før man opretter en konto på #nolto ... :p

From #LinkedIn to LinkedOut.. Been waiting for an alternative... So when #Nolto launched I had to try it.
Its LinkedIn data import made it easy to get started. Just need to fine-tune the look & feel a bit 😁 Perfect task for the next few days.
In the meantime, my Fedi business profile is live 🚀

Van alle (a)sociale media die ik ooit heb gehad, was LinkedIn denk ik wel mijn minst favoriete, ná (toen nog) Twitter.
Maar goed, de open fediverse alternatieven gaan per definitie uit van andere principes en dat verdient alle steun. Dus laten we eens kijken of #Nolto wat te bieden gaat hebben.
My turn? Okay, okay LinkedIn: https://nolto.social , here I am!
#nolto (link) is a new federated professional network where federation happens through ActivityPub. Like LinkedIn (🤮) but inside the fediverse. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but so far the feed is actually readable and has only ~0.1% of the typical LinkedIn garbage. You can create the account and log in with your existing Fedi profile and it's possible to import stuff from LinkedIn (it works, just checked) You can also delete your account there or request your data. It's open source and the code resides in Codeberg.
Wanna try it? invitation link(not that you have to have an invite, you can just go to nolto.social)
If people ask me about LinkedIn, I will say "I use Nolto, BTW" (based on Arch Linux meme)
nolto.social is vibe coded.
In their documentation at https://github.com/Jtensetti/fediverse-career-nexus/blob/main/README.md the first thing it says is "Built with ❤️ on Lovable.dev" https://lovable.dev/ a vibe coding service. Followed by extensive emoji use.
You can see in their git commits, the author is nearly always "lovable-dev[bot]" https://github.com/Jtensetti/fediverse-career-nexus/commits/main/
Also on their LLM-written home page they claim to federate with everything, which is impossible. Believe me, I have tried.

Vanaf heden ben ik ook op Nolto te vinden. Mooi open source alternatief voor LinkedIn: https://nolto.social/profile/danny

I've just read about #Nolto. Do you use it? What are your experiences? Have you found articles about it?
I wanted to try it out instantly, but as I opened the page, something felt odd. The mastodon in a suit is convenient mascot, but can you just reuse or build on an existing mascot to get yours? How does it work legally? It was kind of a warning sign for me.
And my next thought was: If the mascot might be in a legal gray zone, are other areas okay legally? Who will own, use and handle my data if I register on someone's instance? Will it be safe? And I've looked for articles to read about Nolto and found nothing relevant besides a toot stream that its codebase looks a bit odd. That's two more warning signs.
I won't register yet but follow the app closely before giving it trust. The web app couldn't even show me content from the inatance. #mastodon instances do it. I would like to replace #LinkedIn, but only with a more reliable alternative.
@david_bardos interesting. I don't know anything about this #Nolto. I must do some researching.
