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 😬

Since @JTensetti is here, perhaps you could ask him about it directly? They did ditch the loveable.app site recently, for one.

I think @JTensetti is busy enough as is, and to be fair the readme is clear on the "AI assisted coding". I still decided to post because I think many people discover Nolto not via its repo but through its slick home page and / or a widely shared blog post about leaving LinkedIn, neither of which mention anything about vibe coding or Nolto's incomplete federation features
