Tonight, I watched a big-name writer bully another writer with a smaller presence. Basically, threaten to sue said writer.
I’m done with #Substack Notes. Watching this happen was the last straw for me. If this is how the “best” of Substack behaves, I want out.
I do not want to be somewhere where I’ll be subject to this toxicity or see others being subjected to it.
So, I will no longer be using Notes.
Am actually relieved cos I can now focus on what matters.

#SocialMedia #SubstackNotes

I have more fun on #Mastodon than #Substack Notes. Why is that? 🤔 It's probably personal - I just feel a lot of pressure on #SubstackNotes, an air of competitiveness and lots of "look at me" posts.
Over here on Mastodon I have so carefully cultivated my feed and friends that I am only exposed to people who are laid back and just love to share their passion on various topics. I don't feel as pressured here. Hmm.

I have over 80 #Substack subscriptions. I realise that I can't keep up. :( Am going to narrow down the list to those that I'll want to build a relationship with & who talk back ;P
#SubstackNotes is interesting but it is a LOT OF WORK to get noticed!
I need to be realistic and remind myself that I can't do it all,. Also a frustration - currently the ecosystem lacks diversity.Reading about US issues all the time was wearing me down.
#SocialMedia

Just unbelievable. I genuinely thought this was a joke at first...then it just kept going, and there are articles confirming? How hard is it to #JustSayNo to #Racists?

Snap went the wire machines. Snap went the script pages. Snap went the camera shutter.

So is #threads like #substacknotes, in that everyone will use it for a few days, then forget about it entirely?

Mavi Defter için #Twitter tartışmaları ve #Mastodon, #BlueSky, #Postnews, #SubstackNotes ve #Threads gibi alternatifler üzerine kısa bir yazı yazdım. Yazıda neden sol hareketlerin aktif olarak Mastodon'u desteklemeleri gerektiğini düşündüğüme de kısaca değindim.

#twitter seems to be on the way out. Another place to consider (besides #Mastodon) is #substack - specifically #substacknotes - not a twitter competitor, but it's good for #infovore needs (and no algorithm):
