Ben Gleason<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>nixCraft</span></a></span> I hate <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/LinkedIn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinkedIn</span></a> with a passion. Some years ago I deleted my account. Several days later I was laid off, and the government told me I needed a resume on LinkedIn to participate in the find-a-job training that was required to get unemployment. So I set up a new account, which I loathe, and I'm not deleting it. But I never look at it because it's so awful.</p>

www.linkedin.comTwo days ago I posted my blogpost on making LinkedIn carousels using Gemini and R. | Athanasia Monika MowinckelTwo days ago I posted my blogpost on making LinkedIn carousels using Gemini and R. And here is a carousel, about making a carousel! :) In this carousel, I walk through how I used R and Google's Gemini API to turn a blog post into a ready-to-post carousel. Here’s a sneak peek at what you'll find inside: - Connecting R to Gemini: I show how to use the httr2 package to talk to the Gemini API and how to use httr2::curl_translate() to convert cURL commands to R code. - Gemini File Upload: Discover a custom R function that handles the multi-step process of uploading a markdown file to the Gemini API. - The Perfect Prompt: Learn how to craft a detailed prompt that instructs Gemini to generate a JSON output with titles, descriptions, and even code examples tailored for a carousel. - From JSON to Quarto: See how I take the structured JSON response and use a custom function to automatically generate a Quarto document, creating a clean format for review. While posting to LinkedIn still requires a manual upload for now, this automated workflow gives you a powerful head start on your content creation. Check out the full carousel to see the code and the final Quarto output example, and the blogpost for all the code!

As I have mentioned before, I believe that commercial #SocialMedia platforms are a dire threat to the long-term survival of human civilization (see also: #X , #Facebook ), and thus (barring any better alternatives) the #Fediverse needs to grow and replace them.

But there are a bunch of use cases for social media which aren't covered by assorted Fediverse applications yet. Here are the ones I could think of:

1. A "job networking" site, similar to #LinkedIn. Most of us live in a situation where we have to work for a living, and hunting for prospective job opportunities and business connections is useful. This is where we can post our CVs and talk about our field of business.

2. A "Question and Answer" site, similar to #Quora. Having some way of people publicly asking questions that can be publicly answered by other people is not a bad idea, especially since #GoogleSucks these days. However, there is no reason why such a site should be overrun by fascist trolls the way Quora is, and Fediverse approaches to moderating instances should help dampen that down.

3. The equivalent of small business websites with strong social media integration. I know a lot of people are against the idea of any commercial aspects to the Fediverse, but we do live in a late-stage Capitalist hellscape where people need to make a living somehow. And the alternative is leaving this aspect to Facebook, with all of its assorted problems. A _staggering_ number of small businesses around the world, especially but not only in underdeveloped countries, do not otherwise have their own website, but they _do_ have a Facebook business page. And we need something similar for the Fediverse if we want to cater to all of these people.

What other Fediverse use cases can you come up with? #FediHelp
