It was fascinating to talk to Chris Best above how subtract tries to run a platform that’s pro-free speech.

What's disappointing to me about Substack is its increasing "Twitter-fication." I open the App and I'm greeted not with a list of essays from my subscribers, but a "Twitter-like" social feed of quote replies, mostly from rando's I'm not subscribing to, mostly highlighting salacious, raunchy "I cheated on my husband"-type content.

In fact, it's remarkably difficult to get the app to "Just show me the essays, please."

Chris has incentives aligned with a legacy subscription model.

Would be great for him to experience nostr and micropayments

he said in the interview already what he thinks about micropayments

and he is right

Maybe he is.

Let us note that Substack was founded in 2017.

You have confidence he has tried the current experiences built on zaps, LN, cashu?

I doubt it.

free speech is a dumb goal

we should aim for a competitive market of censorship

Loved what you and Chris said about media and moving to meaningfulness Rabble. Last night, I used Gemini Live in a lecture room with the whiteboard cause like I didn’t want to talk to the room bout ai, I wanted them to experience it and feel it where it’s going. P.S, I’ve done the deleting app thing too.
