I can’t really write “rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated”, because there were no rumours. I can say that I’m still out here though, and I might be waking from my slumber. Maybe I was never really gone.

Why the move to substack? Is it good?

It’s less tempting to start “playing the game” with following, liking, commenting, and obsessing over it. Half the problem I guess is that I don’t typically have time to do all that stuff, so feel bad if I can’t return people’s interest in me. Also, I don’t like how blog platforms have become walled gardens – where you can only interact if you’re a member – or you get extra feedback options if you’re a member.
Substack is similar in some ways to TinyLetter – but produces a nice looking blog from your posts as well as doing a really great email newsletter too.
I suppose at heart I’m a bit eccentric and a bit of a romantic too – so the idea of receiving email is persuasive (to me) too.

Why do you have to follow, like, and comment? It shouldn’t be something you *have* to do. I don’t. It’s only if I want to and have timne.
