I am currently in search of a new online home. Having experimented with numerous platforms over the past two years, I was captivated by X for a long time. However, I believe I have now discovered something superior: Substack.
In truth, I appreciate X for its seamless integration of text, video, and imagery, not to mention its unparalleled diversity of perspectives. Yet, my main grievance with X is the brevity of its text content. This is precisely why I am exploring Substack; it captures the best elements of X but offers the space for more long-form writing.
The platforms are relatively similar in terms of free speech, but Substack prioritizes high-quality 'effortposts.' You can publish in-depth articles or share shorter, tweet-like updates called 'Notes.' I wasn't aware of how much Substack had transformed!
