These mystical, reflective pieces celebrate the cimbalom's resonant qualities, and honor the eminent composer György Kurtág, whose music provided Tolle the inspiration to dedicate himself to the instrument

Substack sent a push alert to users not just of a Nazi sub but one that uses a swastika for its icon and people are still writing about the discoverability on the platform being hard to replace - I mean what are we even doing here

Not beating the Nazi Bar allegations with this one, jesus christ
The Substack app apparently push alert promoted a Nazi newsletter to several users. Users have complained about it on Substack Notes but the company hasn’t responded. Generally push alert promos are for content a user is likely to interact with

My violin/cimbalom duo just launched our second annual call for composers. It's an easy and free application, and we'll award two composers $1,000 to write a new piece for us. Check it out here!

My guess is that somebody had to hit KPIs for new writers signing up, so they just converted a bunch of readers to writers. They have signed me up for All The Things. Metric met!
So, hey, if you needed a reason to dislike Substack other than *paying Nazis to write Nazi propaganda*, here's another.

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.
I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue
Former Substack writers who exited the platform in early 2024 are making more money on Beehiiv and Ghost thanks to their fixed pricing models.
