As much as I admire Elon Musk’s push to bring future technology into the present, I have in the past raised my eyebrow at his absolutist libertarian remarks about “freedom of speech.”
I’m still onboard with his commercial endeavors, but now that he’s buying Twitter, I’m rehydrating my thoughts on completely ditching social media platforms in favor of an old-school email-centric approach with a network of Substacks and a myriad of 1:1 connections, augmented somewhat by commentary on the website.
I’m really going to try it, although the one barrier is a lack of Substack app that makes publishing easier, not that using the website is all that hard.
Call to action: create your own substack and invite me to it!
