Private professional network
Desktop-first network for FDEs
FDESocial is a private, desktop-first, lightweight professional network for Forward Deployed Engineers and adjacent operators. Like a mid-late 2000s networking site rebuilt for practitioners. It works ebst in desktop browsers and works on mobile in a pinch. Profiles, walls, groups, events, messages, and no algorithmic theater.
Profiles + friends
Groups + events
Messages + RSS
Desktop web
Privacy-first
What belongs on FDESocial
- A real practitioner directory: profiles, friends, walls, groups, events, galleries, notifications, messages, and RSS.
- Professional social-network workflows for discovery and weak ties without turning the community into an outrage feed.
- Privacy-aware coordination: todos, 1:1 conferencing, groups, and events for people deploying systems in the field.
Profiles stay useful
Show what you deploy, what you know, what you want help with, and how others should find you.
Groups over feeds
Organize around deployment domains, regions, stacks, customers, and recurring practitioner events.
Old web, on purpose
Desktop-first social primitives without algorithmic ranking, ads, or dopamine-loop defaults.
