Ask HN: LinkedIn mysteriously banned me permanently; where to go next?

I posted earlier on HN that LinkedIn permanently banned me without knowing why. It’s a moot point with them because no person on LinkedIn seems willing (or aware) to talk to me and tell me why. All I get is the same automated response that I am banned: “We've deemed the activity in your account is in violation of the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies. Your appeal has been denied, and your account has been restricted permanently. Please see our User Agreement and Professional Community Policies for more information.”

Recruiters expect me to have a LinkedIn link on my resume or portfolio, and they expect job seekers like myself to be searchable on the platform as well. That is no longer an option for me. Besides replacing my LinkedIn URL with my home page on my resume, if that even matters, where do you think I can promote myself as a technology consultant now that I no longer exist on LinkedIn?
