>very few people have silly email addresses because they realize sending their CV Back when I was a teenager, I was told not to create accounts under my own name. I have many silly E-mail accounts. E-mail can be a professional medium. You don't apply via Twitter DM, I hope. >bind their own identity to these niche communities Just migrate if you don't like it anymore.

Why would your teenager years be relevant here? Nowadays companies are online and jobs are online. There are an infinite amount of reasons why you would want to link your online identity to your personal one. You're not forced to and you should still be able to make anonymous and silly accounts, but this is not the point. >You don't apply via Twitter DM, I hope. If a company has a Twitter, why wouldn't I? Many young businesses less revering of e-mail gladly use Twitter as a valid avenue for these kinds of communications. >just migrate Mastodon handles migration terribly. You can either redirect or straight up move. In both cases your old profile is still in full display and your posts don't transfer.

> You don't apply via Twitter DM, I hope. I was hiring recently, and one of the ways we advertised the position was that I tweeted the job description, and I arranged with the our social media team for them to retweet it for additional visibility. Candidates responding to that tweet generally contacted me via twitter DM - why wouldn't they? It's not like I conducted interviews in that medium, but it's not really any different than the people who initiated contact via email.
