    Do you have a Substack newsletter that you wish was NOT a Substack newsletter (for whatever reason)? I’ve just spent about six weeks learning how to overcome all the obstacles they put in the way of leaving and would love to help. Let’s talk.

                @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

                          I wish some newsletters that I'd really love to subscribe to felt a need to move out.

                                      @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.
