Here is the Co-founder of #SubStack talking about "new social media"

He wants people and creators to be more in control and not be subseptable for things like being blocked or banned on platforms like FB or IG

But the "solution" he offers (Substack) is basically exactly the same right? Only now they control the flow of money and who gets on the platform

It's not a solution, just moving the problem

The real solution is here, self-hosting

TLDR:

Substack is not a "new social media" solution. It's just moving the problem to a different platform

@stux there's no point in a social media you can't self-host

While we're at it!

If you want a super easy self-hosted solution for Substack (with subscriptions etc) go with #Ghost on #Yunohost for example

My personal website: https://stux.me also runs this super easy setup on a 3 euro/pm server

You even can install a bunch of other amazing self-hosted tools while you're at it!

@stux I am looking for a provider where I can get a VPS with Yunohost, but can't find any that I can understand. Do you have any tips?

@ainali
Replying for seeing the answer of @stux later

@stux Where do you host your server, please?
