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/
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."
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.
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.
Est-ce que Ghost, l’alternative open source à la plateforme de newsletter de Substack, est sur le point de révolutionner notre façon de concevoir le réseau social en rejoignant le fediverse? Cette interrogation survient alors que John O’Nolan, fondateur de Ghost, réfléchit à fédérer son système sur ActivityPub, le protocole de réseau social qui alimente le fediverse. Qu’est-ce que cela signifie pour l’avenir de l’interconnectivité sociale?
Oh, by the way, if I'm one of your subscribers on Substack and you see me unsubscribe, it's not you... it's not me either... It's mostly Substack and the fact that I'd like to regain control of my mailbox (and stop missing the actual emails I need to reply to and that get drowned into all the Substack posts)
If I read you, don't worry, I still follow you and read you in my RSS feed (actually it's more likely that I'll read you there than in my inbox)
Sometimes the ‘what’s wrong with substack’ crowd gets very defensive about people saying ‘I don’t like and won’t use substack’. I thought freedom and no moderation was the core tenet of your belief: it should extend to others’ freedom to dislike substack as well
