I lean towards Substack. Have you heard of or considered Steemit?
I'm starting an experiment because I'm curious to see where the best place to cultivate ideas is. On the legacy world platforms that have a major design flaw in them... they're centralised and therefore subject to #censorship), or on the new world decentralised systems like #nostr and #keet? I think I know the answer, but why not join me on the journey and we'll find out together 😊
I'm going to be publishing my work in several different locations (#Substack, #Highlighter, #WordPress, #Medium, #LinkedIn, and any others that come to my attention), to see which platforms gains the most traction. This creates a lot of additional work for me, but I believe the results will be worth it.
My first article entitled: "I know nothing." can be found at the following locations. Which platform would you choose to read it on, and which social media platform(s) would you choose to share it on? Let me know in the comments section 🙏

Ooooh yeah, thanks Zen. I'd completely forgotten about steemit. That's also based on a decentralised blockchain model, isn't it?
If you don't mind me asking, why do you personally lean towards Substack? and why do you mention Steemit? is there a decent community on steemit? What's it's unique selling point?
Yes, Steemit is based on a decentralized blockchain. I like Substack for its reach and business support. The community is solid. I’m not sure if those points make it unique enough, but I like it.
Here’s one you might know about:

From just a UI perspective, it doesn't look like #Steemit has changed at all since I joined in 2018.
What was useful was finding that I can copy / paste my article from the https://Highlighter.com WYSIWYG editor and it maintained the markdown styling for Steemit, but Steemit is still a very basic editor.
My hope is that I can reach an audience through #Substack, whilst also testing and using clients like nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x on #nostr and then make an argument for the benefits of nostr as more and more people start to embrace the #bitcoin economy.
