I have gripes about Substack even aside from content moderation, but I do think it’s worth giving them credit for letting you bring your subscribers — email addresses and payment info — with you when you leave. Imagine if Apple was cool with developers having their own customers in the App Store?
@manton Apple would never 🤣😅
Irenes (many) @manton remember, it replaced existing email newsletters which already had that capability, often using tooling run by their competitors
it's not generosity, they'd have no market share otherwise
Irenes (many) @manton and that's important to keep in mind because the implication is that they'd happily change it someday if they thought they could get away with it
