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.

I think sane people likely only use LinkedIn as a pseudo-resume, and for the job search feature.
For better or worse, I'd say 95% of the application forms in my industry ask if you have a profile. And the job search feature is amazing for quickly perusing reqs you might be interested in and compiling application data, to try to give yourself an edge.
The "social" (used very loosely) portion I have no personal interest in, and find it to be populated mostly by grindpilled narcissists.
Thats a great term, but I think we need a term for the perputally-on-linkedIn "influencer" types.
Case in point:
There's no way that's not a troll.
The subreddit making fun of them was called r/linkedinlunatics , and I always felt that was appropriate.
It's !linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works here, fyi.
