Linkedin is getting pretty spammy lately. Is there any equivalent platform (mature or otherwise) that is a clone/competitor/etc…? I really dont want to get premium just to message people. Image is the post, on Linkedin, someone who I agree with.

      headhunter used to be a real profession, when companies struggled to find applicants. now companies use AI to delete 9x% of applicants, based on keywords, etc.

    LinkedIn to me is just a platform where I go to get spammed by recruiters or watch middle managers passionately kiss corporate ass with motivational posts about how brilliant work is or how teamwork is so great.

    It’s also a place where I add work connections that I otherwise wouldn’t send a Facebook friend request to.

    LinkedIn kinda works because of the size. Federated communities are generally smaller. I wouldn’t use one to find a job or to network
