What to say to my many friends who seem to be starting substacks these days? I am happy for them, but I am vaguely worried for where substack (the platform) is heading. I wish for us all to cultivate independent websites with syndication via sufficiently decentralised protocols. But: power laws are hard to deny.

One gets the emails of everyone on one's Substack list, so there's no vendor lock-in... what exactly is the issue?

Aye, no vendor lock-in but they have network effects now. The way *you* do it is a great reference point: own website for writing, substack for newsletter. But for friends going all-in on substack, Iām encouraging them to get their writing on their own domain, too. To have some hedge against enshittification.
