Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated.

The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.

Freelance what? Hitmen? Pastry chefs? Event planners?

You don't specify, so prospective clients can't choose

@MarkHoltom Good effort chipping in and helping everyone! I'm sure if there's clients looking for a freelance pedant, they'll be in touch.

@MarkHoltom @belldotbz
As it happens I’m a freelance hitman whose preferred methodology is serving poisoned pastries I bake myself at events I coordinate

Preferably to pedants

[Excellent idea for a thread, Andy. Wish I needed someone right now. Bookmarking for future needs]

@kims @MarkHoltom @belldotbz I think this was a scene in the movie Bullet Train. Apart from that, I appreciate the effort to match people with work
@kims @MarkHoltom @belldotbz will be in touch. šŸ•µā€ā™‚ļø

Getting strange looks for my bark of laughter when I read this on my crowded subway train 🤣🤣🤣

@belldotbz @MarkHoltom no, don't tease, I would genuinely love to be a freelance pedant. I mean proof-reading is kind of the same thing, but only kind of....
@MarkHoltom @belldotbz Imagine all three combined - assassins that poison the Hors d'Oeuvres at the events they plan.

@MarkHoltom
I'd say Hitmen are a strict subset of Event Planners.
