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.

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

[–] DigitalNirvana@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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
