There is a Fediverse alternative to Substack called Ghost. It allows you to host blogs and newsletters in a very similar way to Substack, but it has much less problematic management and you can host your own Ghost-powered site if you want to.

Lots more info about Ghost in the guide at:

Would also highly recommend the article by @molly0xfff which outlines the advantages of Ghost over Substack:

@FediTips

The most important advantage being that you’re not supporting literal nazis. 😉

@FediTips “First things first, I needed a server for Ghost.” Welp,

@shac

You don't need to be techy to have your own Ghost instance, there are managed hosting providers offering Ghost which will do the technical stuff. I've linked to a couple of these in the guide.

@FediTips @molly0xfff unfortunately these days substack is more of a video service that just a blog / newsletter. Wish we had a good alternative...
