Great post! I’ve just gone back to Instagram after a 15-month break and I’m already not liking it. I feel free on Substack, so I’ll be dedicating more time to it from now on 🙏🏽
Thanks for reading and even leaving a comment, Dr. Toribio-Mateas! I don't know what the right online space for me is anymore and Substack obviously isn't perfect but it basically has the main things I'm looking for write now: creative ideas and angles, service journalism, music or article curation I wouldn't find myself, and generally just people look to share stuff they've made. For me that's pretty much what I am looking for after about 20 years in the social media era.
I think another way to look at Substack is as a literary salon like the Algonquin round table from the 1920s. I agree the social media and app model is dying, good! I disagree about notes I think the intellectual banter on notes is wonderful. The only thing missing is DMs which I would imagine Substack is working on.
Thanks for reading and leaving a note Mr. Raven! I think that's a good shout out. And maybe I'm not giving enough credit to the community aspect of Substack/Notes. I have a bad habit of being community averse and I should change that. I'll start by checking out your work!

We’re on the same page then.
