        This site covers the problems of Substack and, towards the end, offers alternatives.

        I haven’t checked them out because I’m busy with other things … Like finding a job and a new place to live.

          Thanks, I guess time to abandon this brand new account and use ghost for now

            It sucks to have to do that but at least you’re not hanging out at the Nazi bar.

            Upvoted now. It’s a good piece, btw.

              Thanks for the advice. much easier to switch now than the longer I am settled with that platform

                That is true and I really appreciate your openness and willingness to listen.

                I really do hope that your writing gains some traction.

      I downvote too but primarily because I see a lot of questionable content passed off as news. I actually have all their domains (including subdomains) blocked.

      I didn’t know about the Nazi bit, that’s good to know too.
