Thomas saw what was happening here in 🇺🇸 earlier & more clearly than almost anyone. It is sad that 🇺🇸 & academia have lost him but great that his voice has found its new home 👇🧵

By the way, we are dealing with some technical glitches. Growing pains. If you subscribed on Substack, no worries: We are transferring you over to @steady.page, and if you haven’t yet received this launch post, you’ll be getting it very soon! No one gets left behind.

Re-launch day for Democracy Americana – and the official start of my new life as a full-time writer.   I know there is more important stuff going on than the latest personal news. But I want to be maximally transparent about why I left academia, left the U.S., left Substack - and need your support:

Dear @thomaszimmer.bsky.social we wish you a warm welcome to Steady. Your work is extremely important and we are more than happy to be on this journey together with you. Onwards and upwards!

Meet tollkühn Tolkienists on @steady.page & Patreon: Radio Rivendell The one web radio to rock'n'rule them all 😀

If you understand German and like podcasts that tell good stories, you should check out “Was bisher geschah” – a well-researched and wonderfully entertaining history podcast co-hosted by a friend of mine. They created something great and they deserve to get the support they need to keep going.

Congratulations on the amazingly successful Steady launch of "Was bisher Geschah" a German history podcast. Great job @drguidoknapp.bsky.social & team! The project has managed to gain a thousand members in just one day! Support them here: steady.page/en/wbg/about

Thinking about switching away from Substack? Check out Steady. Our newsletter tool is 100% free, you can import addresses from other services and dedicated account management (no matter the revenue). steady.page

#Substack, like many American media platforms, has a "free speech", hands-off policies problem, enabling extremist content creation and distribution. 🍇 Our #WeinLetter newsletter is hosted on @steadyhq.bsky.social, built in Berlin by @yoran.com and team. steady.page/de/weinlette...

Wer von Substack weg möchte: Ich kann @steadyhq.bsky.social aus Berlin empfehlen. Aber auch @ghost.org scheint eine gute Alternative zu sein, noch dazu OpenSource. steady.page/de/
