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.

➡️ https://fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-newsletters-on-the-fediverse

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