I have never felt that comfortable on social media and could not get on with twitter. It has always felt very artificial with people either saying what they thought they should say or being hostile for the hell of it (when you could find any posts by people in between the ads). I have only been exploring here for a few days but it has been enough to realise that there is a much better way to use the internet and it is one that feels safe, relaxed and enjoyable to spend time in. Giving writers and readers the space to choose what they want to explore and consider different angles creates a much more interesting dialogue. Already it is making me feel like I want to write and participate where 5min on twitter is enough to make me want to never speak to people again. Only down point for substack so far that I have found is the lack of handcrafts category which makes it hard to find crafters and makers but given the constant efforts to develop by the team I think they will be welcoming in the craft community soon. I’m really excited to see what creators will do with it and how it grows because I feel like it could be something special.

I work with a lot of makers but I’ve not found them here yet... I think since it’s shifted it’s language from writers to creators they will come. 👀
