Yes. That's right. There are some subtle differences between Medium and Substack mostly owing to the fact that Medium was originally designed as a blogging site and Substack was originally designed as an email newsletter platform (with a place to park blog posts as well). So each is a bit catered a bit more catered to their original goal, although they've certainly become more similar over time.

Ghost seems to be squarely in the middle: both a blog site builder/newsletter platform from the outset. Honestly, Ghost looks to maybe be doing the site builder piece even better (like more ability to remove Ghost branding relative to Medium/Substack, which makes sense since it's open source).

I think what may be implied by OPs comment:

The other members of the club will harass you to come to events. Your dues are your indirect way of paying for your social event harassment (ha!).

As a friend of a club member, I often don't want to go but am cajoled, and then I'm glad I went. It's awesome. Highly recommend.

Really? Could you provide some sources? I'm curious to learn more.

Did he directly express support for trump? I only saw something along the lines of "the Republican party is better than the Dems because they will address big tech". Albeit that statement itself is misguided in many ways, but curious about what his actual post said?

Yea. Just the way this question is phrased is so flawed on prejudiced assumptions.

[–] techforwhat@lemmy.today 4 points 3 weeks ago

Ohh, I see. That makes a lot of sense. I understand the comparison now, ty 🙏

Could you expand on that thought a bit more? How is an app like the internet tool bars of old?

Genuinely curious. I'm a little too young to have experienced internet toolbars like the ones in your image.

 

The description for the community talks about the Blue Sky app and the AT protocol but all the posts in this community are democratic/liberal support posts. Sorry I'm #outoftheloop. I'm trying to find a Lemmy/ActivityPub community for updates on BueSky and the AT protocol.
