So where are you hosting your online content that's completely immune to meteor strike?

The "cloud" 🙃

Okay, I'm assuming this is probably a joke I'm not getting, but just in case...

You're aware that cloud data also exists on servers somewhere, right..? And that Substack's hosting will certainly be spread across servers in multiple locations just like yours?

Haha yeah. The meteor strike is a silly reason to say people should use Substack (the author's argument), which was kinda my original point.

What's more likely than a meteor strike is Substack shuts down, changes owners, cancels my account, or whatever. With my own cloud servers I don't need to worry about that nearly as much. While I think the author's points are good and more creators should have more sovereignty in general, I do not think Substack is the solution. It's the pot calling the kettle black.

At you in the cloud with regional redundancy? Asking for a friend …
