<p>About that <a href="/tags/substack/" rel="tag">#Substack</a> toot I published earlier: it made me feel uncomfortable to have it up without tagging the journalist (so she couldn't see what we were discussing). I had not tagged her on purpose because she complains of being called out about choosing to stay on Substack.<br><br>What is the right way to hold that discussion? I don't know. So I deleted the post.<br><br>An excerpt from my (now deleted toot): "Maybe it's just me, but I believe that the tech we use sends an important message about our values and the causes we support. Everything is politics now. Including our tech stack."<br><br>So later this week I will publish an article on my blog about *my own* tech stack, how everything is politics now and how I think the platforms we use should reflect our values. It will be linked at the bottom of every blog post I will publish from now on, in a sort of: "disclaimer: here is the tech stack I use" way.<br><br>Related: <a href="https://news.elenarossini.com/this-is-what-resistance-to-the-digital-coup-looks-like/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="news.elenarossini.com/this-is-what-resistance-to-the-digital-coup-looks-like/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">news.elenarossini.com/this-is-</span><span class="invisible">what-resistance-to-the-digital-coup-looks-like/</span></a><br><br>Wishing everyone a lovely day 🌞</p>

<p>"The 'Why I’m Leaving Substack' post is the new 'Goodbye to All That,'” writes Sarah Scrier for NiemanLab. Some top newsletter writers — including Anne Helen Petersen, Lyz Lenz, and Virginia Sole-Smith — have left Substack for Patreon.

It allows you to host blogs and newsletters in a very similar way to Substack, but it has much less problematic management and you can host your own Ghost-powered site if you want to.</p><p>Lots more info about Ghost in the guide at:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-newsletters-on-the-fediverse" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-newsletters-on-the-fediverse"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-news</span><span class="invisible">letters-on-the-fediverse</span></a></p><p>Would also highly recommend the article by <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>molly0xfff</span></a></span> which outlines the advantages of Ghost over Substack:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://www.citationneeded.news/substack-to-self-hosted-ghost" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.citationneeded.news/substack-to-self-hosted-ghost"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.citationneeded.news/substa</span><span class="invisible">ck-to-self-hosted-ghost</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/ghost/" rel="tag">#Ghost</a> <a href="/tags/substack/" rel="tag">#Substack</a> <a href="/tags/alternatives/" rel="tag">#Alternatives</a></p>
