Announcing our concierge migration service. We'll move everything from your previous provider onto Buttondown if you commit to an annual plan, within 24 (business) hours. (If you've ever wanted to use Buttondown but were to busy, well — here's your cue.)

@buttondown will you have a booth at @pycon? I'm curious to know how Buttondown compares to my current email/newsletter setup and would love to chat with folks in-the-know.

Regardless of whether you'll have a booth, thank you for sponsoring! 💖

@treyhunner @pycon Nope, but still happy to chat if you're ever interested :)

Trying to think of interesting use cases for a toy/reference ActivityPub implementation, ideally of the shape:

  1. Public data
  2. Multi-faceted (ie there would be different channels/authors/etc that someone could subscribe to)
  3. Dynamic, and changes at least once a day.

Please help us think of something more exciting than "stock data". Stock data is boring.

We're very, very excited to work alongside Ghost to evolve and proselytize ActivityPub as a great tool for authors to stay connected with their audience without tethering themselves to Yet Another Algorithm or Yet Another Walled Garden:

@matthiasott it looks like we can't read the full messages in Own Your Web archives on Buttondown, is that on purpose?

Trying on https://buttondown.email/ownyourweb/archive/ to click on a “read more” link, I only get the title (screenshot).

buttondown,
@buttondown@mastodon.social avatar

@nhoizey @matthiasott Can y'all try now? Looks like a blip in our rendering engine (for exactly the edge case you described; archives for folks who were already subscribed + received the email copy.)

@matthiasott @nhoizey my pleasure, and thanks for the flag you two!

@buttondown looks like the subscribe text box at the bottom of newsletter pages gets removed by some ad blockers (including mine). :( Are you aware of that? Any chance of a workaround? 😬 (my own subscribe form on my homepage looks fine)

buttondown,
@buttondown@mastodon.social avatar

@hynek What adblocker are you using? We have a <noscript> fallback and I'm surprised it's not being triggered here.

@buttondown I think you have a JS error on one specific docs page: https://docs.buttondown.email/tutorials/names (I tried in multiple browsers)

buttondown,
@buttondown@mastodon.social avatar

@zachleat Oh no! Does it happen in incognito too? I'm not seeing the error on my end so it might be an interaction with a browser extension?

It's pretty thrilling to watch the trend of folks building out their own durable, personal presences on the web — and humbling to be a part (however small) of the movement. (Congrats on the move, @ricmac!)

All right, for anyone wondering I am definitely planning to move off of quite soon. I want to take a moment to share some specifics about why it's hard for a lot of people to move off the platform, even though you "own your list".

I think most of the stories people are seeing about migrating away from Substack are from prominent writers. If you have a large subscriber base, it is cheaper to use a different platform:

@buttondown@mastodon.social avatar

@ehmatthes I would be remiss if I didn't plug our 'platform fee' tool which sadly does not have charts but does allow for folks to plug in their own costs / subscription counts:

Hey @buttondown where can I find out about complying with the new email rules re SPF, DKIM & DMARC and your service?

@kcarruthers here! (you don't need to do anything; if you have a custom domain you already are compliant!)
