I got lost in the weeds of Notes, but was nodding along during the entire reading. This:

“I’m so angry at Musk and every man like him.” Yes and Yes. I resist leaving Twitter because I loved being able to hear the discourse of important topics by thoughtful (and some spicy) people. I HATE what Elon has done. I despise his snark, his attitudes and his values.

I will leave.

So many of the people I follow on Twitter now have substacks, but I can’t afford to support all of them, and quite frankly, I don’t have time to read all of the long form newsletters. One thing I will miss about Twitter is the brevity. I also really miss the 140 character tweet limit. One had to be succinct and clever. So sad it’s gone.

I'll be honest, I'm uneasy about substack attempting to nab Twitter marketshare (but good riddance to Twitter, don't get me wrong) because I'm uneasy about substack anyway. The founders consistently refuse to deplatform or regulate newsletters that focus on antitrans content that reaches into hate speech. They tend to claim its not an issue because they also have contracts with some prominent trans writers. But that's some both sides bs. I subscribe to a lot of substacks because this is where the people I want to read are, but I'm an unenthusiastic user. I don't trust substack to take care of its users if it gets in the way of its money.
