I am certain the discomfort is significant from the professional perspective you shared. As a reader, I only recently subscribed to newsletters, all here. In short order I have come to eagerly anticipate new posts from those I am following. Substack does not have the speed and reach of the hellsite, but you are not forced to filter out unwanted chaff. I also recently set up a Mastodon account, and have found that more enjoyable than I expected. I believe it has tremendous potential. Thanks for the efforts you are making to keep us informed.

Facebook audience dwarfs Twitter. Other social media is even smaller, but that's not set in stone. Audience goes where the writers are.
