BoingBoing move to substack

Oh, I do.

Thanks for the head’s up.

Not that I think that the logo needs any updating; it’s cool the way it is.

WTF?!?

That does not bode well for TOS, at all.

That article correctly points out that substack doesn’t really bring much to the party. A newsletter service needs little more than a website, a way to bcc emails and payment processing.

The obvious parallel is podcasts. There are tons of places to get these, and you can manage your subscriptions with open standards like RSS. So readers may well end up asking (as with websites) what exactly the point of a “publisher” is.
