I’ve been thinking about creating a #Substack, since it seems like that’s what all the cool kids are doing these days. I like the idea of how it’s organized – blog/essay-style posts, shorter tweet-type notes, audio and video posts, the ability to block AI from reading your posts: (1/3)
It seems to be a blend of the better parts of various social media platforms – but I haven’t really got a great sense of how it all works yet. It would probably be mostly #language, #linguistics, & #conlang content; maybe some specific stuff about Valthungian, Europic, and other pet projects. (2/3)
I’d like to do some cooking/baking stuff, too, but that might have to wait until I have a navigable kitchen. Any other sort of content you’d like to see on there? Any advice from experienced stackers? (3/3)
The platform has some controversy around it in who it will let post on it (actual Nazis, and alarming push notification disaster that happened this year). But I deeply understand the need for a platform that 1) you can share stuff on but 2) keeps out AI scrapers.
Thanks, this is helpful. That's a little disheartening about the Nazis, but sadly it's hardly even unusual among social media platforms lately. Anyway, I will probe a little more critically.
