Last Notes npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon "A well-regulated person can still be trapped in an intolerable arrangement. npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon Reminds me a bit of the Khumbu (Nepal). npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon Why do they need to be _here_? Why can't they be on their own instance that we don't federate with? Is it wrong for me to want to be able to read my site feed without being triggered? For wanting neighbors that I like? npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon Spam blocking software is a _really_ bad model. I not want that here. Free speech has to be balanced with consent. If I do not consent to listen to some asshole spew hatred, I should be able to avoid hearing that. npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon How this relates to substack is of course still a matter for debate: there _are_ alternatives. But each of the alternatives I've found is (a lot) more work and has less reach, as far as I can tell. npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon The only quibble I would make with this is that if you are doing what makes sense, you shouldn't beat yourself up about it. npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon A lot of people I admire, e.g. Amanda Litman, Anand Ghiridaradas and Waleed Shahid, use substack. Why are you right and they are wrong? npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon I ask these questions because I know how easy it is to use substack, and also how easy it is to use alternatives like Ghost. I'm actually trying to decide what to do about this—this isn't an idle set of questions. npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon A related question is, given that substack actually appears to work better than its competitors, how much does it cost us to not use it, both in terms of ease of use and in terms of reach. npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon I guess this is the Nazi bar analogy, and I sort of get that. But I have a few questions. npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon 🦙 Animal #952 🐞 npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon Every time you post one of these it reminds me to go to https://lingule.xyz/ and do the puzzle there. I've never actually tried the animal puzzle. It's still kind of a fun bit of random parasocial solidarity. npub1mpgtesgtvqnq808l30ty6yk724w8rzcau97s3zfnt22fg8gdpj4qsfe8sw Ted Lemon Is this on the nuclear article?
