I love knowing that less than 10 people I know follow me on Substack. The algorithm is pretty decent & I love yapping to strangers

I finally locked in and made a substacked (only knew about Substack because of pi.fyi so… thanks!)
I’m not the best writer so it’s really intimidating getting onto a platform that’s word heavy… also digitally anxious (being perceived digitally is tough) but I finally decided to just go to help with it and honestly I can’t wait to write more just for fun.
I would like to see more people use it like it’s Wordpress or a diary! And if anyone has any substacked recs please let me know. It’s exciting or maybe it’s the dopamine rush. 🪽🦴🍸💭

some of those other social platforms are terrible in their toxic awfulness
on the counterside, a place like substack is its own kind of tower of babel burdensome curse: it's just too much — always learning, always reading, drinking from the firehose, drowning in words and wit
just give me a book and a tree and a patch of grass for my bare toes

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
