Happened to find this - it's a useful little website if you A) want to know why you should drop Substack and B) want a list of alternatives. A couple also have tools to import your old SS posts over. leavesubstack.com #kidlit

It’s often pointed out how people don’t read anymore, how social media has broken our attention spans, and our capacity for critical thinking. BUT, also, there are still a TON of avid readers in the world, of ALL ages. I know many of them. Let’s not forget to celebrate, and take comfort in, that.

If you’re not investing a little time and energy into configuring Bluesky to your preferences (it is deeply configurable) you are missing out on the value proposition of this place.

My dad has been doing very well with physical therapy. The new challenge is that he wants to tell us things, but we don't understand anything. Hopefully, he can start speech therapy next week. #KofiSharetember ko-fi.com/i/IT6T21LGY0K

I see a lot of folks asking for the “old instagram/twitter/deviantart” back, and while I relate to that feeling and frustration, social media isn’t the only thing that changed. We did too. Our expectations, the way and reasons we use these sites changed so much, I’m not sure there’s going back.
