I hear that Substack is coming out in favor of Elon.

Let me introduce you Substackers to Ghost.

I want to talk about my move from Substack to Ghost for a second, and what it's been like working with a nonprofit tech company that actually lives its values.

Especially if you're a writer still on Subtack, please read. 1/x

First of all, about the org: They are a nonprofit, I just met employee +

I couldn't find anything about this online. Do you have a link about it?

I just signed up to Ghost based on your recommendation, but cannot find out what their fees are after 20 minutes on their website.

Pray tell, what do they charge writers to write there?

Do you think it's worth trying to inform creators about the implications of their choices? We've known for a while about Substack and WordPress' position on this matter.

theradr.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yes. Input from readers matters, especially if you let them know that it will impact your engagement with them. And people who have been sticking their heads in the sand might experience this as their breaking point.

Just another reason for me to keep substack and talk shit about them all.

Will be making the move soon.

Do check out Pagecord if you’re looking for alternatives. Far more simple, but maybe that’s a good thing? 😅

Ghost rocks even if you aren’t sending newsletters. I self-host and it’s been incredible. So much faster as a blogging platform than Wordpress.

Just wanted to say hi. I'm one of the people that followed you from substack to ghost. And I've been talking up ghost ever since.

That said. . .it'll be kinda weird for substack, because The Bulwark is one of their larger customers and is strongly anti-Trump and anti-Elon. Operation bullet-foot?
