Hi Hamish, interesting article. I thought you might be interested in a great example, from just today, where Substack has indeed been able to function as a 'social media for the good'.

I have two readers of my serialised music themed novel - challenge69.substack.com - neither of whom know me, or each other, yet I've been able to introduce them, to their mutual benefit!

Samfire is a singer/songwriter/producer from London, just starting out on her musical career, while Benjamin Kryze is a Computer Scientist from France who writes 'Small Ears', a music orientated Substack that centres around interviews with emerging artists.

I've just plugged them together, which means Ben gets an interesting new post for his site and Samfire gets some welcome extra exposure for her music. A genuine Substack win/win.

Tim
