> Why move from one corporate entity to another? Substack will end up going down the same road in time. Get your own domain, fire up a CMS and start publishing on something you control and own. It's quite weird to see people fawning over the latest startup blogging platforms in 2022. While people have been migrating to/from medium and substack, wordpress.com has been here the whole time, and it's still quite OK. The killer feature it has, of course, is that because it is open source you can export your data and run it yourself should things go sour (or if you just outgrow it). Whatever features substack/medium/whatever closed source platform may have that you think you really need, the anti-feature of lockin is not worth it.
