Please, for the love of god, don’t start your new newsletter on Substack. There are so many better and cheaper alternatives who don’t run a business model of platforming the worst among us.
You can get a self-hosted Ghost newsletter up and running for <$10/month.

Wish the DD runner would change service providers
I'm looking for a new platform to host it, but it's my hobby and I don't want to bleed $$$ a month to do it.
Right now my options seem to be using the bad platform or shutting down the free book club, both of which feel like letting the bad guys win.
Their business model expects to recoup the costs of sending all those emails for free by selling subscriptions - which a free book club doesn't have.
