I'm dismayed every time I see content that I like being published on Substack. (Or any other big content platform to be honest. But Substack in particular.)

An old article, but I have been thinking about that lately.

I like links
This is quite a list.
I think this is the last post I link to on the topic of Social Media bridges. It is a really good one, though.

Personal websites are the best
