  • The closest thing to foss LinkedIn would be the repos, forums, and chats for open source projects. Some of them have other dedicated channels for jobs other times it’s you know this person and they see you are looking for work and they tell their friends. There is not a drop in replacement for LinkedIn that is open source. The biggest value of LinkedIn is a network effect so even if it did exist not using LinkedIn would make finding a new job harder since you couldn’t find opportunities that are only posted on LinkedIn.

    Side note LinkedIn is gross they serve ads in your dms and notifications











  • There are multiple ways of doing this and I’m not sure which methods tik tok is using.

    • ip address there’s a group called IANA that issues blocks of IP addresses to ISPs and there a companies like Maxmind that package that info. apps can create rules block requests based on that info that block requests coming from a specific location or return an error to the user

    • removing from the app store Companies can ask app stores to no longer offer downloads in a specific region and as the app updates it will become more busted over time

    • user information Based info provided by the user directly during sign up or from the social login a user used to sign up with tik tok
