Is Substack just another Social Media platform? It is a place to Read, Learn, and Connect. Is it a place for Reflection, Healing, and Reinvention? Several times people have asked me: What is Substack? I should be prepared to give a solid, quick, thoughtful response. So far, my simple answer is: it's different. ... but that's not enough - and it doesn't work in conversations. I can do better.
WOW, really great post! It sounds like Substack has become a partner in your writing and healing journeys. Great insight about FB's "broken algorithm"! I feel that. With all the possibilities out there, what made you ultimately choose Substack as your platform over others?
I tried to answer your question on the live chat, but I should answer it here too. 8^P
Bottom line: Substack's policy of content creators owning their content was the big thing to me. Honestly, I didn't look around at many other options for a place to write. Once I realized this platform had more functional bells and whistles than I'll likely need any time soon, I just kinda dove in.
After a few months I can say I plan to stay here because this simply feels like the right place. :)
Well, it's probably best that you didn't spend too much time "shopping around" and that you found the right platform for you quickly. More time to write. 👍Sometimes I think the vast amount of options out there can be overwhelming.
