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.

LinkedIn kinda works because of the size. Federated communities are generally smaller. I wouldn’t use one to find a job or to network
You don't need a billion users to be an effective network. I once got a part time job writing a program for the government from posting on a BBS that had a few hundred users.
Agreed.
I think that just starting with networking might be the way to go. I mean if someone wants to a market a fedi alternative, they would have a huge advantage on software developers, server hosters, and generally our small communities.
And probably no one else
Couldn't you say that about almost all social media? I mean a big part of why reddit is useful is just due to the sheer number of users available to answer questions and such.
Sure but when you’re looking for a job/networking, you really need people
Nah, I disagree, respectfully. What you espouse is what we’ve been taught. One doesn’t need a hundred jobs, or to fill out a thousand job applications. One needs a job that fulfills one’s financial and other needs. Bosses need a hundred applicants per job, or think that they do, so they can choose the best one. Both sides would be better served by not wasting their efforts and getting to the best match for their separate and overlapping needs.
Networking doesn’t mean applying for jobs? Not sure what you’re getting at
