   I knew Substack was problematic when I set up The Aerobic Digest there, but I wanted to see how the most popular service worked and play in that arena a bit. And every fucking big service with reach on the internet is run by problematic assholes so what’s the difference. But they had to go and explicitly say they don’t have a problem making money from Nazis, and now I’m looking to move.

   Thankfully TAD only has 70 subs so I can go somewhere for free. Yay for obscurity!

     @pete Ghost with ActivityPub, Wordpress with AP plugin or Micro dot Blog are great federated alternatives…

     @pete Then check out this — software as a service and has all features of Substack plus federates. https://micro.blog/

     @tchambers Yeah, but I’m looking to do less setup and maintenance this year, not more. :)
