It took me much longer than I anticipated, but today I finally said goodbye to Substack. As previously mentioned, what initially began as a newsletter platform has evolved into a social media platform. Since then, the number of people who follow me instead of subscribing via email has been increasing every day.

This position is contrary to many of my beliefs regarding a free and open web and federated social media.

As you read this, I have already moved all the emails to the new system hosted by my website provider. If everything goes well, the next time I write an article, the email will be sent from the new system, and you’ll be able to read it here on my cherished website.
