It's worth turning your Mastodon account into an active platform too. It takes work, but you'll end up with meaningful readership through that platform, giving you a hedge against Musk censoring you
Should our public discussion sphere be controlled by a single unstable individual? Well, no. The fact that it sort of worked for a while was a happy accident.
I hope that Substack keeps growing and the notes option truly is the competition Elon has been afraid of. Very glad to be a subscriber and supporter of your work - regardless of the dumpster fire that my fav social network has turned into. RIP Twitter.
Until now it looked like Twitter and Substack had a symbiotic relationship. But it's pretty clear Musk sees the new "Substack Notes" as competition, so ...
Change is often a struggle, especially when it comes on suddenly, which often happens in this day & age. Hang in there - I suspect you'll continue to grow. "If you build it, they will come."
I recently made a short film called TESLA which, along with telling a story of radical accountability vis a vis the climate crisis, is also a criticism of the car, Elon, and those who buy them.
I've been lucky enough to have work premiere at Sundance, Cannes, and La Biennale di Venezia, but despite that success, prominent shorts platforms have refused to feature my short on trademark grounds. I believe Elon's/Tesla's vindictiveness and litigiousness has had a chilling effect.
I think our work and efforts are pretty closely related -- I hope this gets your attention and we can discuss what's going on with my short.
A potential consequence of using screenshot pictures of content instead of embeds is copyright infringement depending on the content in the picture. I'd use with caution.

This is outrageous. You all do great & timely reporting. Hoping the community embraces you.

How many kids does that guy have, like a dozen?! He’s no climate champion and I can’t wait to trade my Tesla in!

I used to be an Elon Musk fan-boy. NOW, just the mention of his name infuriates me.
Your last remark is my thought exactly...hang in there 💯

Love Heated by the way! It's so up my alley.
Fuck Elon Musk
