I Just Hit LinkedIn's 30,000 Connection Limit and Now I'm All Frozen in Carbonite

Hey everyone,
It appears that LinkedIn has a limit of 30,000 connections, and I’ve recently hit that cap. As a result, I can no longer accept any new invitations to connect.
When I first noticed this issue, I was puzzled. After digging into the situation, I discovered that LinkedIn has this limit in place, likely to prevent spam and maintain a manageable network size.
While LinkedIn’s policy is understandable, it puts me in a bit of a bind. I’ve invested a lot of time into building a robust network here, and their advice to "just unfriend people" is not practical for me. Each connection is valuable, and I’m not going to start removing people arbitrarily.
Therefore, my LinkedIn network is essentially frozen in time. If you’ve sent me an invitation recently, please don’t take it personally if I can’t accept it. LinkedIn simply won’t allow me to connect with more people.
But there are other ways we can stay connected and continue to engage with each other:
Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to continuing our professional interactions through these alternative channels.
Best regards,
Dean Jones
