    I see Substack, I downvote.

    How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters

      God fucking damnit. is it, not a big deal or more like twitter. JUST made an account because I want to work on my writing.

        This site covers the problems of Substack and, towards the end, offers alternatives.

        I haven’t checked them out because I’m busy with other things … Like finding a job and a new place to live.

          Thanks, I guess time to abandon this brand new account and use ghost for now

            It sucks to have to do that but at least you’re not hanging out at the Nazi bar.

            Upvoted now. It’s a good piece, btw.

                That is true and I really appreciate your openness and willingness to listen.

                I really do hope that your writing gains some traction.

      I downvote too but primarily because I see a lot of questionable content passed off as news. I actually have all their domains (including subdomains) blocked.

      I didn’t know about the Nazi bit, that’s good to know too.

    Dear mods, I suspect it is OK to post my own substack here. I basically wrote it based on a comment I wrote to someone else on lemmy, and think it is relevant to the community.

    If this goes against self promotion rules, either take this down, or tell me ASAP and I will take it down myself.
