sorry posting this in more than one spot but want Substack people to see this:

Something odd about Substack is every time I add a new writer to my subscription, the next thing that pops up is something about tweeting this. Why is that? It seems to go against the whole concept of Substack to me -- "subscribe to us and tell the world on the one-party fascist Twitter site."

A special note regarding Twitter: I used to be able to read a tweet thread if linked to an article but the last month or so within 20 seconds of going to that tweet thread, a pop-up blocks my view. This pop-up wants me to join or sign into Twitter to read that thread. I have no plans to join that site or to let them know who I am in my Brave VPN-cloaked world. So Substack writers who link to Twitter threads should be aware that perhaps many other Substack readers are like me and avoid these big-tech sites.
