Substack just annoying as can be anyway, with the constant spammy pop-ups about subscribed to my newsletter and whatever the hell else. Absolutely atrocious blogging platform
Can't criticize unless an alternative is provided tho, can you?
Lol, I can absolutely call a website (or argument) awful or absolutely moronic without providing an alternative. Especially when we're talking about Nazi supporters (which substack objectively is and has been for years).
As a wise man once said, I don't need to be a pilot to know a helicopter doesn't belong in a tree.
You absolutely can and should regardless.
I almost fully agree Idk about 'should' just out of paranoia that I can imagine a case where criticizing without sufficient contrast or a consistent-enough background of otherness, could potentially have unintended consequences or surprisingly negative overall moral impacts Or maybe just paranoid idek
Ghost, tumblr, WordPress, any of the self hosted SSGs out there.
Fucking watch me.
Nazis bad. <- note the period that makes that a full sentence.
Don’t use substack. Or Twitter.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but couldn't you just use like... Fucking SquareSpace or some shit, and just make a blog on your own site?
Lol what? Are you saying Substack is the only blogging platform that exists?
