Reaching out besides on LinkedIn

What’s the go-to platform or method for networking in your experience? Was using LinkedIn’s free Gold trial, which was super helpful, but now that it’s run out, LinkedIn seems pretty limited for reaching out to people due to its word count restrictions and outreach limits.

Writing emails using the company’s email structure works too, but LinkedIn still seems preferable, especially for IB networking. I’d appreciate any suggestions.

Cheers.
