Unsurprising, but good to have explicitly laid out:
"The overall effect of looking at my Substack dashboard is 'wow, Substack is really getting me an audience! If I leave Substack, half of my subscription channel will dry up.' It’s clear that this is the impression other writers, the media, and investors are getting as well, because they praise Substack about it all the time."
Dopo #substack anche #reddit monetizza la sua kwnoledge base, creata attraverso i contributi spontanei dei frequentatori della piattaforma.
Sul punto non ho un'opinione forte: una comunità riceve ospitalità gratuita, ma quel gratis per altri ha un costo e il corrispettivo, in questo caso, èciò ciascuno ha scritto e che, una volta pubblicato, ha smesso di appartenergli.
Le regole erano sempre state chiare? E allora inutile lamentarsene ora #ownyourdata#ownyourweb https://www.ilpost.it/2024/05/17/reddit-accordo-openai/
@davew, you’ve long advocated for easy writing and distribution of text. Unfortunately, creators don’t care about open standards and access until the lock-in hurts them directly.
Gods I love the modern #Internet.
Suddenly last week I started getting tons of emails from #Substack for some reason.
Thanks to the #Enshittification of the Internet apparently when a newsletter I once read moved to substack, Substack auto-creates an account for you and start pumping out newsletters. Without consent.
I had to log in, create a profile (thank Artemis only a name was required) and then move into account settings and delete the account.
(1/2) I bought a teeny tiny watercolor palette & filled it with 6 colors (CMYK + one extra color) from which I can create millions of colors! Here’s my palette in hand. You can read more on my latest blog post
"There are now two 'N' words that regrettably dominate our discussions today. One I cannot say because I am not black, the other I must say because I am a Jew:
'Nazi.'
... The point we need to remember is this: all Nazis are assholes, but not all assholes are Nazis. So is the Substacker who pecks out his midnight screed about “The Jewish Question” between games of League of Legends a Nazi, or is he an asshole? I’m going with asshole."
and has Substack remain diminished because of their moderation issues?
I am curious if those who bailed from substack, like @Daojoan, have tracked that site's condition after it took a hit and where or what alternatives people who have left as creators or members have gravitated to.
I am begging people to stop blogging with substack (email bookclubs aside).
every time I click a link it bothers me TWICE to sign in. TWO different pop-ups. I am not accessing these illicitly (well maybe #Substack thinks so) these are not subscriber only articles. I just want to read the article you are sharing that proves your point.
Get a blog (not wordpress though) with an RSS feed. Or at least use a less obnoxious service. No, medium is NOT less obnoxious.
I beg you.
How do you achieve Inbox Zero? Look at all your email. Unless you'll end up in jail or the world will end if you don't reply to them, say "That sounds like a you problem" and then archive them. Reply to the rest.
With its long-form Articles feature (for Premium+ users), #Twitter is going after not just #Substack, but also blogs. This worries me because it might actually work. This level of centralization won't be healthy, because it actually prevents innovation and experimentation for building better reputation systems. We will be stuck with Twitter's algorithms for a long time.
If you're still using Substack for your newsletter and want to migrate to Ghost, which has announced that it will join the fediverse this year, here's a step-by-step guide by @wes. It covers costs, what you'll need, setting up Mailgun and Cloudflare, how to move over your posts and subscribers and numerous other helpful details.
First Hassan, now Klippenstein. Real bummer to see a new wave of leftists not merely sticking by Substack, but hitching their wagons to it from the start.
