I think it's good to (re)evaluate what sites one uses to write and to read. I like simplicity and minimalism and organization, yet I want to be informed and I want my writing to be seen.
For news and other websites I want to follow, what I've arrived at is an RSS feed reader (that's where I'll input your blog URL, and coincidentally that is where I follow the blog that Substack admin itself produces). And the other tool is my podcast reader. Between the two of those, I think I'm keeping up with the current destruction of the world :-)
As for writing, I'm a real convert to Substack, mostly based first on their non-censorship. I already have one Substack line and plan to start another to promote my upcoming book. As for Substack's viability, I have no idea. It seems like all info on the internet: one place says Substack is shaky, and another says they just got new VC funding.
I had signed off all social media until I talked to a publishing consultant recently who said I should have a presence somewhere. So I recently signed back on to the least poisonous of them, Instagram, where I am posting photos related to the subject of the bio I'm publishing.
I also host a podcast, and the episodes are available everywhere as well as on my YouTube channel.
Why I’m Using My Website Blog Again
You could still send links to your website only storied to your Substack subscribers

So that's what I'm down to :-)
