writing

I think the advice here is good, but but I think it’s a mistake to start a blog on someone else’s platform (i.e. Substack). I’ve blogged on blogger, Tumblr, Medium, and Substack. None of them compare to the authenticity of writing that lives on my site under my control.

What’s the difference? Why does writing on your own platform make it more authentic? The typical person who wants to blog just wants to write, post it, get the link and share with his/her people without worry about the intricacies of managing the platform etc.

Jack of many trades, master at being human.

it’s not about the writing. the authenticity is a function of durable urls

And while custom domains are possible on medium and Substack, they are hard to set up. And if you move off those platforms, making sure all your old links still work is a nightmare of redirect hell

si. redirect hell is an entirely avoidable state. better to front load the difficulties
