Ghost seems to be the platform of choice, either self hosted or paying. Also if you self host you aren't giving 10% of your income to people you'd rather avoid.

I used it for my stuff because it was easy, and it meant people could follow and get an email when I posted something new. I never asked for money because I have enough and wanted to make sure the people who needed it were getting it.

I have a couple of posts almost ready to go but ...

Time to move, probably to something I host myself. It's just boring. I ain't gonna help pay any fash though. They get enough mainstream help as it is.

A lot of writers have been leaving substack because the investors are the kind of people who like to monetise fash content and used the notes feature to do that because freeze peach. Quite nasty individuals by all accounts.

It's interesting times time again

I had the Substack app on my phone and took it off because I didn't like waking up to misery, and the Notes section was abused by people commenting on popular posts they obviously hadn't read but they wanted you to read theirs, and nuts to that kind of selfish crap. Blocking people didn't seem to stop them posting at you and being annoying, either.

Also quite pissed off at rumours that Corby is going to found party at the 11th hour and split the progressive vote, probably sabotage the Greens. Always said he was a lightning rod.

@jaycee it’s not incompetence. It’s gaslighting.

@harriettmb@mastodon.ie Blair took credit for the work done by the Major government and Mo Mowlem (and Corbyn preparing the ground).

I didn't realise Phil Lynott was so young when he died.

What a fucking waste.

@somcak I hope you don’t have to wait a week for pain relief!

@fkamiah17@toot.wales I’ve only seen excerpts on Twitter. Couldn’t bring myself to watch Baddiel’s “documentary”.
