   For everyone who thought link shorteners were a good idea.

   The lesson here is that if you don't own it, it will undergo enshittification. Even if it looks cool today.

   Posting your blog articles on Substack? Telling people to use Bluesky or Threads? Enshittification is only a matter of time. I'm not sure why most people never learn the lesson.

     @jrychter Agree on all. Also, Substack already looks like shit and a worthy successor to Medium

     @nikitonsky @jrychter Substack has a problem since at least 2 years! https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/11/substack-extremism-nazi-white-supremacy-newsletters/676156/
