  1. Why can writers not seem to quit Substack? Maggie Mertens writes for the Scratch newsletter (hosted and distributed on @ghost) about why she and others feel locked in to the problematic platform, and talks to some who have successfully switched.

  2. The Verge: Writers are fleeing the Substack Tax. “Substack, the once buzzy newsletter platform, is losing a new swath of writers to rival platforms most people haven’t heard of. Just last month, The Ankler, one of Substack’s most popular publications, left for a platform that gives it more control over its site. Others who have departed Substack within the past year voiced similar […]

  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. Dare we hope?

    "Some high-profile departures may not spell the end of Substack, but it could signal a shift that positions the platform as a jumping-off point for publications, rather than a permanent home."

  5. Toni Notes notes: A newsletter should extend a publication, not duplicate it. toninotes.cc/a-newsletter-shou #newsletters
    Good advise for professional publications but a little overkill for personal ones (unless you have the time), IMHO.

  11. Consider this Ethical Publishing Stack and Workflow for your Site, Blog, or Newsletter

    This article originally appeared on The Fulcrum.

    I published an article on Symfony Station (now sunset) years ago, titled Need a Writing Stack and Workflow for a Tech Newsletter or Blog?.

    It did not concern Symfony or PHP directly. However, it was still related. We wanted to be the best source for news on the two topics. But, for that to happen, people other than us needed to produce items […]

  13. → You can absolutely have an RSS dependent website in 2026 (by @matdevdug)

    “My conclusion is this: if you want to run a website that relies primarily on RSS instead of email #newsletters, you absolutely can. The list of RSS readers hasn't dramatically changed in a long time, which is actually reassuring — it means the ecosystem is stable, not dead. The people who use RSS really use RSS. They're not trend-chasers.”
