100% agree. You don’t have to do what they tell you to do. You can do your own thing. Personal defiance, quiet resistance.

I don't use notes or chat or ... anything. I read great writers (so glad you're back), press the like button, comment when I have something to say, and quietly post my books, which are all wrong for trad publishing, 10 pages at a time, week after week. I'm happy. I like Substack. I'm not here for social media or to exercise my outrage. I ignore the algorithms and all the latest greatest shiny things. Not here for those, either. I don't need a gazillion followers to have a great time publishing my work. I'm just here to read and write. I bet there are a lot of us. Welcome home!

Very happy to have you back!

(Also you still own this list - just make sure you back up regularly.)
