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.

Anybody here have experience with Ghost? This is an alternative to Substack. Is it good, bad, etc?
#Substack #Ghost

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

How Substack steals your audience and your revenue https://journalistspaythemselves.com/p/how-substack-steals-your-audience-and-your-revenue #Substack

#Capitalism has developed many ways to exploit and extract rent from ordinary people who are trying to scratch a living on the Web. #Substack, #Etsy, #OnlyFans and many others seek to monopolise spaces and to parasitise.

It's always seemed to me that the obvious response to this was to set up a co-operatively owned Web payments system, and I've been surprised that none has emerged.

The folk at Comradery appear to be making a serious try. It looks worth supporting.

A part of Substack's subscriber onboarding process takes your subscribers off your mailing list.

That's just one of the many, many problems.

Do you have a Substack?
Do you wish you could stop supporting Fascist with your money ?

There are alternatives, some that require very little effort to migrate to, with help to get there.

Get in touch with me if you want to hear more!

One of the best things I’ve read about moving off of Substack.
https://www.the-reframe.com/1-year-after-substack/

“I migrated a year ago because I thought it was best for my budding career as a writer. I also did it because I thought it was my moral duty—but my moral duty specifically, and it is upon myself I find it most appropriate to impose moral duties.

If there's anything I want #Tech to take away from the popularity of #Substack is that if you provide fully managed blog and email hosting, people will pay you truck loads of money directly or indirectly. Also, this is why Comradery is doing well because it's getting to be that Patreon alternative many are looking for.
