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.

Oh man I just spent 10 minutes making several attempts to. It’s really hard lol. I think I just want for my friends to avoid being locked into a platform, and to have enough of their own thing happening. At least in parallel.

For my friends embarking on longer term projects, my encouragement would be for them to write on their own domain first, then to syndicate to corporate networks. But I understand the convenience of going all in on corporate networks and hoping it all works out. And jumping ship if/when it doesn’t.
