#beehiv — Public Fediverse posts

@timkmak
Hey Tim,

I love the work you and your team do. I wonder why you display that work on a website that specifically raises money for literal nazis.

There are several turnkey platforms you could replace #substack with, such as #ghost, #buttondown, and #beehiv.

There are (at least) hundreds of us who will NEVER share a substack link - including all of yours - because we will not willingly raise funds for nazis.

David — I and many others here would be more likely to subscribe if you were to get off Substack and onto another platform like Ghost or even beehiv.

These alternatives have better pricing when you have large numbers of followers and are better designed for media sources like you.

They also don’t have the ethical issues that keep people who are aware from wanting to give any data or indirect financial support to Substack.

After leaving Substack, writers are making more money elsewhere

[T]hey are receiving a higher share of subscription revenue after making the switch from Substack to rival newsletter services such as Ghost and Beehiv.

Techie Molly White's article has useful insights (even if you're not going to self-host Ghost)

Next decision: full-out Patreon, or a set of newsletters done through beehiiv?
