@danslevin I had a slightly different problem with them, I have never used them, but I started receiving a newsletter by email.
I complained to substack and mailgun abuse addresses, a week later received another one, so then in Postfix header_checks:
/^.*substack.*/ REJECT

@danslevin I do not, but I love that you've done this. Thanks.

@danslevin do they have obstacles to try and prevent people leaving? What kind of obstacles?
I've never been on there, but some of my friends have.

@danslevin I am not on Substack (thank goodness...), but also unhappy with my WP stack. Any pointers where you went, why and how would be appreciated.

Thank you for offering this.
I wish some newsletters that I'd really love to subscribe to felt a need to move out.

@heathercoxrichardson.substack.comCan Buttondown handle ~2.8million subscribers of the above?

@danslevin blog it.

@TanekRune@mstdn.ca If there’s an opportunity for me to earn some consultancy fees on specific sites, that would be cool but big picture advice is fo anybody who asks.

@heathercoxrichardson.substack.com

@dxzdb @GeekAndDad @heathercoxrichardson.substack.com Yes, at a cost. But that’s at the “bespoke quote” level of support. They don’t take 10% of the subscription though.

@ftranschel I brought my archives back to WP - a site I’ve had for 20 years - but finding an effective and affordable email delivery method took a while. Settled on Buttondown who will take input from the website’s RSS feed. I can write in WP, feed the post to BD and still edit or add content there before scheduling/sending.

@lukeharby File formats, broken links, they make it hard to move a Stripe account from one service to another. Like unsubscribing from the NYTimes, you need to find a human who can override the bot. The hassle is what prevents people from moving.

@justin Looked at it but didn’t want the archives to be on another third party service when I have a self-hosted Wordpress site just sitting there. Considered self-hosting Ghost and that looked promising for a while but it was beyond my (and my server’s) capability.

@danslevin @GeekAndDad @heathercoxrichardson.substack.com Good to know... 99,999 subscribers is $4590/year so I imagine it's a fair bit above that. I wonder how much substack gets

@faduda I sorta did but my choices are not the same as everyone else's.
