☝️ As Dave Troy points out Ghost is a great alternative.

It is very viable to migrate from Substack to Ghost. They will even help you do it.

You will keep more of your subscription revenue and not fund right wing extremists.

@EugestShirley did you read the piece, where Ghost is mentioned about 17 times? ;)

@davetroy Well that was terrifying, even if not surprising.

How these fools treat cyberpunk as a roadmap is beyond my ken.

Are they editing his head? Is that a real picture? How is that guy an actual conehead?

@kemotep ohhh 🤭 I had all those questions but was like, no... that would be mean. What if it's real?! @davetroy

@davetroy
Don't get me wrong, I love #mastodon but the promises of woke AF users has been somewhat overstated - it's kind of disheartening to see SO MANY links to #Substack on here...
