I hate newsletters. I don't want them in my inbox. I want them in my RSS feed where they belong. Thankfully substack has feeds.

- philip1209 4y agoA good platform should support both email and RSS, and give users the choice. (Postcard, which I discuss in the submitted post, does support both.)
- jacobobryant 4y agoYep! You can think of email as a version of RSS that regular people actually know how to use ;)
- nextweek2 4y agoExcept email for news is a waste of resources, it is a push which fills bandwidth and inboxes regardless of if the bytes are read. RSS is pull, it only fetches the data if it’s needed. And rarely do I see people using an inbox correctly, they’ll have 1000+ unread messages and have missed something important.
- _Microft 4y agoMaybe that’s opening up a new space for you then: did you know that you can access a Mastodon user’s feed via RSS by appending „.rss“ to the address of their profile?
- Ferret7446 4y agoIf you set up an email filter, then it just becomes a push style RSS subscription.
