I also like Buttondown.
I've had a wonderful experience with Buttondown, which seems very right on.
No other newsletter platform has Substack's revenue-sharing model or sponsors newsletters the way Substack does.
Also, every other platform makes it easy to leave if they turn evil. Only Substack tries to trap you.

Beehiiv Buttondown Ghost…
I have not received an adequate answer for which platform would be a better alternative. I don’t have a Substack, but I would like to start something to continue my film writing.

Beehiiv Buttondown Ghost…
Reminder! There are alternatives to Substack! Which do not have its ethical problems! (My newsletter is on Ghost, which is fabulous, and Buttondown is among the others I've heard praised.) Thread--
This kind of thing at Substack (including their Nazi problem and trans hate problem) are why my newsletter is at Ghost.org and always has been. Andrew Tate is a spectacularly vile human being accused of numerous violent crimes against women and hugely corrosive for young male minds.
Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

Re substack:
Beehiiv and Buttondown both have free levels. The next level on Buttondown is $30/month.
*Pay the fucking $30.* If you can’t afford it, ask for donations or have a paid tier. Or use Patreon!
YOU. DO. NOT. NEED. SUBSTACK.

And if you didn't know Substack actively funds Nazi speech, now you know!
There are a bunch of great non-Nazi alternatives like Ghost and Buttondown.
Buttondown can even help you make the switch!

No, I will not read “your substack.”
Stop calling your written work by a name that is synonymous with “funds nazi speech.”
Because what I read when you say “check out my substack” is “check out how I’m helping fund Nazi speech!”
No. I will not do that.

Again, you can switch to Ghost or Buttondown or a dozen other options.
If I could pull it off, trust me, you can too

people who you would assume having a huge problem with substack promoting and profit sharing with nazis have remained puzzlingly silent or even gotten defensive about it and it’s one of the most confusing dynamics in media.

The Substack Nazi thing just getting completely forgotten is bizarre. They’re still there you know. Happily spouting their far-right, racist, replacement theory bullshit - and making money from it because Substack thinks it’s fine.

Seconding Buttondown. It’s been great for me.
A thread for getting off Substack 🧵:
1. First, migrate your archive and subscriber list to the new platform. I went to buttondown, which was the most affordable for me as a small letter, not a lot of paid subscribers. It's not as slick of an interface, but it does everything I need.

I have an idea for a weird story thing because I feel terrible for not sending things out to a mailing list but instead of years of “i have nothing to say and I don’t want to bother people”
Can i just write some strange epistolary found document thing instead?
And where should I host it?
