Thanks for indirectly introducing me to #ButtonDown @WeirdWriter. For those who (like me) aren't familiar with it, it's an email newsletter engine, akin to Ghost, who I see are also working on ActivityPub integration. So we'll be able to follow ButtonDown newsletters with our fediverse accounts, and comment on posts;

If you read Thomas Was Alone PS3 review. and liked it, my newsletter is here and also has RSS https://buttondown.com/weirdwriter #Newsletter #ButtonDown

thanks to @amministratore for pointing this out and sadly no simple way to QT:

"През 2024 за пръв път най-накрая имаме усещането, че има критична маса от хора и платформи, които се интересуват от преоткриване на интернет, за да върнат това, което сме загубили, и да създадат нещо ново. Само през изминалата седмица проведохме разговори с #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #TheVerge, #Buttondown, #WriteFreely и някои автори на #ActivityPub. Това може да е годината на отворената мрежа"

Nel 2024, per la prima volta, si ha finalmente la sensazione di avere una massa critica di persone e piattaforme interessate a ridare vita a Internet per riportare in vita ciò che abbiamo perso e creare qualcosa di nuovo. Solo nell'ultima settimana ci sono state conversazioni fra #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #TheVerge, #Buttondown, #WriteFreely e diversi co-autori della specifica #ActivityPub. C'è la sensazione palpabile che questo possa essere l'anno del web aperto!

"#Ghost says it’s working with #Mastodon and #Buttondown, another newsletter platform,on #ActivityPub support. The company also says it will be working to improve its reading experience as it prepares to let people follow other fediverse authors on its platform. Importantly,the project also says that #paidcontent “should work fine” with ActivityPub as well—something no other platform has really tried yet."

When new services join the #SocialWeb, it works best if there's an associated default app. Everything shares the #ActivityPub protocol but an app can be designed to best deal with a certain type of content. I use #Pocket by @mozilla right now for articles, but it's not federated. I wonder if @omnivore can't be the default app for our AP enabled #WordPress #Ghost and #Buttondown future.

I've removed JetPack from https://shawnhooper.ca/

All e-mail subscribers via JetPack have been sent an email with how to follow me via e-mail (#buttondown newsletter), or RSS feed.

Thanks to a suggestion from @JosKleverWebSupport I'm trying out Koko Analytics (WordPress plugin) for very basic analytics.

So I think the migration of my Doctor's Note newsletter #substack to #Buttondown is complete. Thanks to Justin from @buttondown for adding in redirects from the Substack URL slugs so that old links and searches go to the right place (and fixing up the image CSS). Here it is at its new home: https://newsletter.polaine.com

(Sidenote: the best thing I did was to use a custom domain on Substack just in case I ever had to do this. All the content now lives at the same URLs from before)

As I move instances today, I figure it's time for another #Introduction. I am the only Orthodox #Jewish #transgender #film critic that I know of. That said, I do cover #TV to some extent. I am a member of various awards-voting critics groups.

In addition to my love of #movies, I am also a #baseball fan and write about baseball at Dugout Dirt (which will remain on #Substack until my #Buttondown newsletter brings in enough paid subscription revenue to justify a move). The #StLCards are my favorite baseball team and when it comes to college #sports, it's all about the #KentuckyWildcats aka #BBN. I root for the #Boston #Celtics when it comes to the #NBA even as many ex-Cats are playing throughout the league.

Another thing: I am very vocal when it comes to speaking out against #antisemitism no matter where it comes from.

Audrey Watters, now using #Ghost (and with a shout out to #buttondown)

"...my work, at Second Breakfast and elsewhere, aims to help us think through how and why we got here and to examine where the tech industry wants to take us – how it wants to engineer our bodies and our brains. For me, for all of us, I think it’s going to be better (and safer) to talk about this somewhere other than Substack."

I did it, I committed to @buttondown. They use #Stripe, but my newsletter's free so we don't need to involve them. I've successfully exported all my subscribers and the back catalog of newsletters to #Buttondown, and... all that's left is to delete my #Substack. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Can't get a #Beehiiv account because they prohibit sexual content.

Wrote to #Buttondown and #Ghost to learn what their standards are. However, they both use #Stripe, who has suspended me for adult content.

It's so much harder to talk about sexual fantasy than it is to decry certain skin colors and genders as not human. Even those comments on #Substack's announcement were alternately "eww, porn is gross" and "hang on, let's see what the Nazis have to say."
