    The profiles. You know, the place where I can get the list of people who work for a company and what they do and then email them directly when the company fucked something up and support has failed me.

        Yes. If customer support doesn’t understand that there is a vulnerability on the website, then I would definitely want to know about it

        I’ve emailed CISOs directly this way, who have thanked me.

          That case makes sense does make sense. I’m concerned about abuse however. Imagine if you worked for a game company as a dev, put your profile on the fediverse and angry idiots started sending you complaints, spam, or worse. That would drive people away.

          On LinkedIn there’s some semblance of professionalism in messages (yes I know of the crazies on LinkedIn). Making profiles publicly available to multiple servers will require proper guardrails to prevent abuse and spam.
