  1. I've seen Substack claim that they're important for growing your readership, and it's nice to see people leaving and disproving that

    Of course I would prefer people left because of the Nazis alone, but a win is a win I guess

  2. The blog/newsletter/longform is a thing. It needs to be an open ecosystem like podcasting, where nobody needs to care who is helping you publish it but only that it can be read/TTS to them any way they want. And that writers can get paid.

  3. I hate how "Substack" is used like a noun. "Check out my Substack." Makes me want to puke in my mouth. 🤮

    I'm glad to see people are leaving Substack for other options... better options. I just hope more will.

  4. News Summary: Beehiiv Adds Webinars and Metered Paywalls; Anthropic Settlement Reaches 91% Claim Rate

    Beehiiv has been in the news again this past week. I want to report on the latest from the newsletter platform if for no other reason than an irresistible desire to say they have been busy little bees. A facility offering webinar capability will be of interest to some. But more interesting might be the so-called "metered paywall" capability. That's something many will be familiar with as readers, where you get a certain amount of content for free (say, three articles) before you have to pay to unlock more.

  5. #TechIsShitDispatch
    I tried to subscribe to a newsletter on #Beehiiv using a privacy-protecting #Addyio address. Beehiiv lets me subscribe, or at least seems to. It even lets me sign up for a paid subscription under that email address and happily takes my money. But I'm not actually receiving the newsletter, I can't edit my profile to add my name, and I can't comment on the newsletter's posts on the web; it says I need to log in to comment despite the fact I'm already logged in.

  6. Looking to move my writing off of #Substack. I think a subdomain on my website allows me the flexibility to not use a Wordpress solution, which is what my main site is running on, correct?

    I know about #Ghost and #Beehiiv and #Buttondown and Movable Type. What other solutions should I look at? I want to post both longer #newsletter pieces as well as shorter #blog style posts that people only see if they subscribe via #RSS or go directly to the site. I also have a lot of media-heavy archives to import, so doing that with ease would be a priority.

  7. Poynter: Two disinformation experts have launched a DIY news outlet. “Indicator, a digital outlet founded by fact-checking and digital investigation veterans Alexios Mantzarlis and Craig Silverman, aims to demystify the moment — and help readers investigate the things they see online themselves. The free weekly newsletter is hosted on Beehiiv (as opposed to Substack, from which Mantzarlis […]

  8. I'm trying to make my #email #newsletters feed more manageable and started using #Inoreader to check issues in masse. I was able to export a #opnl list of all the WordPress blogs I'm following. But #Substack doesn't have such a feature. Can this be done through other newsletter carriers, such as #beehiiv, #buttondown, etc? I'm still a bit new to #rssreaders.

  9. What's it like to move from tech blogging to a newsletter? To start again? Here's my story so far: jukkaniiranen.com/2024/11/star

    From #WordPress to #beehiiv. From #MicrosoftMVP contributions to paid #newsletter subscriber content. In the end, it's just the same old me - and yet it's something brand new.

  10. @seachanger @anildash it warms my heart anytime a newsletter switches to #ghostio or #beehiiv. it seems like such a good move to leave the VC "free speech" 'stack.

  11. I've stopped using #Substack for quite a while now (yes, the Nazi thing) but I have yet to find a replacement. I thought that #Jetpack 's Newsletter function would work as a replacement (Do I really need a newsletter in addition to my blogs? Couldn't they just double as newsletters?) but it kinda sucks.

    Yes, I know,
    #Ghost is all the rage, but you see, Ghost is not free, and I'm not made of money, and the last time I checked I had one paying subscriber on Substack.

    So, do you know any newsletter system that could work for me? Either inside a Wordpress site, or as a separate entity, but free and if possible not owned by an evil corporation?
    I currently have about 300 subscribers (and one unique paying one, if they still are, I'm not even sure)

    I heard that
    #Beehiiv could work as a replacement. What do you think? Does anybody have advice to share?

  12. CW: Mailchimp Mailing List Woe

    @conniptions I haven't noticed a full roundup of #substack alternatives for #MailingLists. So, uh, this isn't comprehensive, haha:
    * #buttondown would be $9/month for 100 to 1k subscribers
    * #beehiiv is free up to 2500 subscribers
