I am begging people to stop blogging with substack (email bookclubs aside).
every time I click a link it bothers me TWICE to sign in. TWO different pop-ups. I am not accessing these illicitly (well maybe #Substack thinks so) these are not subscriber only articles. I just want to read the article you are sharing that proves your point.
Get a blog (not wordpress though) with an RSS feed. Or at least use a less obnoxious service. No, medium is NOT less obnoxious.
I beg you.
@lapis Suggestions of what to use instead of what not to use? I’m on self hosted Wordpress and have been for a long time. What’s my alternative that’s as easy to set up and use?
@fistfulofdave@lapis I doubt there is such a thing. Self hosted is fine though. Same here, I love how low maintenance WP is these days. Everything auto-updates.
and while I should not HAVE to do this, if you have an extension or a script (for Firefox) that makes Substack less fucking obnoxious, please share it. I will use it, and pass it along.
