Obviously... Substack is a “threat” somehow and it’s being run by an egomaniac nerd with limited social skills or understanding... by no means an expert in anything editorial...? Making observations and questions...
No judgement. I wonder if one who is on Substack truly needs the nuisance factor that Twitter presents... you know? Is it something everyone is addicted to using or does it have intrinsic worth for your publishing goals?
There is community there who I missed when I was banned, but I am so squelched there that they don't see my Tweets often and I seem to see other people in my stream than the science crowd that is helpful for research purposes. It isn't good for me in many ways - I tend to feel hurt by the lack of notice when really it is the censorship and I spend too much time for the amount of gain. I got a lot more solid research writing done when I was banned. It would be nice to have academic interaction - more peer review style feedback on my work because I am isolated.
I left twitter the first and only time twitter censored me in '20. I don't miss it. Wouldn't matter if I did. They censored me. I am baffled and disappointed hearing all the time about ppl who continue to return to such platforms. I'm not super sold on substack either considering Dr Lee Merritt was de-monitized here. Globalists and their lefties are winning and I see no substantial resistance but for a handful of independent highly censored thinkers. People go to twitter to lie (self-censor) and expect the same from others. Hard to be an optimist these days but I try.
JD - NOBODY needs Twatter, be like the millions of digital expats who have already left Twatter. It's up to you to wreck Twatter and destroy Elon's er - the WEF, ESG and intelligence communities $45B investment.
I never trusted Twitter to continue serving up embeds within other pages.
This is why
1. Show the link directly to Twitter embed. This helps authenticate it was there. (Someone could make it up, but it’s a little possible they didn’t, i.e. some evidence.)
2. Screenshot it yourself and post that.
3. Also, copy the text as it is shown in the screenshot, but log that text (along with outlinks) and server that too. 3 copies of the Tweet for posterity.
If it’s worth preserving, and since you think it’s worthy to call out, it probably is.
Wayback machines can’t be counted on either. Future generations will have to rely on human thought. Investigations into what we were thinking will need complicated. Spell things out for future S Holmeses, our grandchildren.
the concept of a "censorship free" Tweeter platform was instantly belied by the ongoing suppression of koovid preventative/cure data and info on government involvement in the 911 fiasco.
love your disclaimer near the bottom of the article, by the way.
Am but a reader in Substack...
Never fell for the tweetie Twitter...
Question do YOU REALLY need it?

haha, and I see your point.

Yes, good to make actual copies, I agree.

Agree…
If Substack could… best way is Imho, Gutenberg’s method need be revised… newspapers, fliers, mailers and such…
Intentionally cost prohibitive…
Yet it was once done in the past…
For similar reasons! 🤷🏻♀️
