so I have two Substacks, and the keys would be (1) ease of importing the email list such that you just tell your subscribers I’m switching, and they really don’t know the difference; (2) ease of composing/editing — make it as easy as Substack; (3) ease of payment — use strike (npub1ex7…vyt9) or whatever to convert fiat payments into sats (probably a harder one); (4) podcasts and video —I upload my podcasts to Substack, and it sends out the feed to ITunes, Spotify, Fountain, etc.
If you could do (1) and (2) I would mirror my posts here — I actually already do with Highligher, though it lacks email, but all four would obsolete Substack entirely.
Substack takes a substantial chunk of the subscription revenue, BTW, and I think most people here would be happy to do the equivalent in sats. I know I would.
Imagine the biggest challenge for paid newsletters is most people built their audience via credit card subscribers, and getting those credit cards into sats for normies might be tough. That and hosting all the larger files like video and audio.
But maybe if it were just (1) and (2) I could do a Substack post announcing the Nostr newsletter, get some of the people to sign up and post different written content for those who were interested too.
Sorry, this is long, but bottom line the more avenues to escape centralized platforms, the better.
