Hey everyone! Maybe you’ve caught wind of this, but either way it looks like the Substack Pro model has led to some rather exclusionary, transphobic rhetoric coming from a group of writers the company has invested in (vis-a-vis, among other things, salaries in part paid for through the percentages the company is taking off of other writers’ paid subscriptions). It’s looking like that’s the way forward for the platform, and like many writers, I’m not that invested in sticking around for it.
Check out tinyletter or Ghost if you want the paid options.
