Moving Away From Substack

The Substack platform I previously used for this blog, is no longer a good place. Like everything else these days, it tries to become a walled garden social network. But most of all: it has become a Nazi bar. I definitely don’t want to associate myself with such people, even when using the free tier. Even if you don’t spend money there, just using the platform drives traffic and contributes to their business and credibility.

I’ve switched to a self-managed blogging platform, in combination with a Kit mailing list.

There are less frills here, no like and comment buttons and such. Some of that may come back. But only if I can make it work without integrating a privacy violating service. The web has become a dark place filled with surveillance. I’ll have more to say about that in the future.
