Linkedin seems to have lost its charm in the last 1-2 years. I'm noticing creators moving to substack but it still doesn't seem to be a 1:1 match. Just like there's Bluesky as a prominent X alternative, have you come across any for LinkedIn?

Not that I know of. It would have to be the LinkedIn before it became just another avenue for self-promotion and advertising for courses, seminars, etc.

Anecdotally, it doesn't appear to be any good for job searching. Lots of un-directed random messages from recruiters, but no real job sourcing.

It seems to be the fate of all socially oriented networking sites. They devolve into yet another advertising, spam delivery mechanism.

Sad thing is that they never did a single thing to stop "spam job ads" that companies put out just to signal "we're growing".

Well.. I suppose in their defense, they didn't do a single thing to solve any of the other problems the platform has either

Are there any noteworthy LinkedIn alternatives?
