Thanks for focusing so firmly on your mission and standing in for those powerful principles. Giving power back from platforms to users is much needed if we want to build a better Internet.
A cynical question though: What makes Substack different than for example Medium, or any other tool (e.g. Wordpress) that allows users to publish independently and that have often been around for years?

I'm glad you liked my comment. Thank you. About your statement here on what makes Substack different, I've tried for awhile to copy my posts into Medium (someone there who I know suggested I go on Medium). Medium constantly tells me I have no readers and not enough response to be paid, even though I never asked to be paid or showed interest in that on Medium. But the clincher was an extremly hostile and nasty comment I did find on my page there in response to an article I wrote on disturbing extremist Republican activities. So I haven't felt much like dealing with them lately. They do publish sometimes helpful things, but it feels dangerous to me in a way I don't need to be feeling right now. Substack seems much more upbeat and also safe.
