I've never used substack. Looks like some kind of information-collecting VC-funded West-coast tech-bro gatekeeping login-walled social networking thing I am (and probably others here are) trying to avoid. But good luck!

I'd like to read your writings, but as soon as the first subscribe window popped up, I had to dip out. Maybe post some here?

@stack you can click "no thanks" on that pop-up. None of it is paywalled.

Oops mean to tag @mrrobinhood5 in my comment.

@stack it is unfortunately where most blogging occurs today if you want anyone to read it. Believe me, I hate using it too. I actually plan on posting most of the same things on my BearBlog (which is free and FOSS) but I want to see if maybe I can drum up some readership first. Idk. I'm just trying to get some ideas out there. I am also working on a good old-fashioned book, too.

@softwarepagan hi! As some one from Heath, MA I identify as a Heathen so I take special interest in your blog

Also we can agree Substack Bad but also most people complaining about it here probably use worse technology frequently. It's actually not *that* bad to provide writers an easy way to sell their work.

@satch I agree and thank you! Do you practice with a kindred out there?

🚀 stack · Feb 13 at 19:57:

Sorry about my a-hole comment. Genuinly hoping it works out for you.

@satch Absolutely right. Guilty as charged. I'll check out the bearblog though.
