Don't call your own writing "a Substack". And don't publish there, either.
"Substack is, just as a reminder, a political project made by extremists with a goal of normalizing a radical, hateful agenda by co-opting well-intentioned creators' work in service of cross-promoting attacks on the vulnerable." (Also, self-hosted Ghost is way cheaper!)

Reading: "But what if I really want a faster horse?"

It's certainly an interesting counter-point to discussions I've seen. Worth a read if you're a product owner, manager, even developer.
@robbienorlyn I have used Ghost since 2023 and love it. There is room to grow but they’re building new features all with independence and privacy in mind.
Here’s the piece I wrote on Ghost as a much better alternative to #substack

Another great reason to leave #Substack besides, you know, the Nazis.

This is a more in-depth post than usual, primarily for #Substack writers. But, you never know until you post...

Once again, I am here, begging you, bloggers and writers....
If you are writing about the evils of the current regime, upheld by broligarchs, AND you are posting it on #Substack , a corporation owned by techbros who support the regime, take a LOOOOOOONG look at the mirror, and ponder your choices.
You might as well just buy a #tesla.
Stop giving money to them.
THERE ARE OPTIONS FOR HOSTING.
Got a blog? Here are three steps to ensure I will never read it:
1) Host it on #Substack, the company that pays Nazis to write on their platform
2) Use an AI generated image for your link, thus denying a living, breathing artist the opportunity to create something that doesn't look like an hallucination
3) Pose an inane question to draw people in, and then bury the lede beneath empty bloviating
Mastodon friends: I want to write a blog (or at least, I have an idea for a post!). Is #substack a good choice? Is it fairly intuitive for a non-specialist?
Is the American Age over? And has the United States committed imperial suicide?

3 seconds is the time it takes to recognise that an article is on #medium and press back.
At least with "read my #substack" I can save 2 clicks.
If I have to allow myself to be surveilled by an unknown set of third parties, knowing that somehow the information they get from me is enough for them to be a viable business I'm going to assume the net effect is negative. Because this #surveillanceCapitalism is how the fascists are winning.
¿Se debe representar la diversidad humana en las historias que escribimos?

Please don't link to your substack. It's a Nazi bar that requires my email to read your article. No thanks.
