But if it's just nostalgia, then I agree. Substack is slower, harder to navigate, and less Aesthetic.
- xondono 5y agoI knew, but somehow it feels different. With SCC I spent whole afternoons chasing links, reading and learning. I don’t get that with substack.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoIMHO it's because Substack was not designed with heavy commenting in mind. And its mandatory JavaScript only makes matters worse (good luck getting the position where you were last in the comments saved !)
- ravi-delia 5y agoI definitely miss the vibe of the old SCC. I keep up with all the new posts, but when I feel like killing some time I'll go back through the archive. It has a sort of homey vibe that was lost with the transition to Substack. Of course I'm glad that Scott is receiving the metric tons of money his writing has always deserved, but there's definitely reason for nostalgia.
- civilized 5y agoSubstack also gives Scott Alexander shipping containers of money, so I can't be too upset.
