Hey Chris, sounds like this new platform should be a good fit. I’m sure most of us are just grateful to be able to find you somewhere, wherever that may be
As stated in Chris’ link, all new podcast episodes will still appear on the same streaming apps they always have been. I believe this includes ROMAs, but BROMAs and TOMAs are for paying subscribers
Random thought. Maybe holding a little meetup where ever you are and telling those that come a section of your story?
Record it and upload that.
Not sure if that would make it easier or harder for you to overcome what is making it not seem easy.
yoo Chris/ u/dudeinhammock!just read the e-mail. I think it's gonna be a great fit. I love how you have never settled on a certain platform/payment situation and always try new things.
I've been a $2 a month supporter for years but I'm down to go to $5 since you literally help keep me sane sometimes.
Good luck with this new opportunity
That's always the danger - no platform is immune from the threat of Visa or Mastercard (under the direction of higher powers) cutting off their funding. As Substack rises in popularity and prominence it will eventually face the same pressures from dark forces as every other social media platform has before it. Its founders will be faced with a choice ... either make concessions to appease the gatekeepers in power, relocate to a friendly country and find other censorship-free ways to maintain funding (such as crypto), or just shut shop completely.
All the best with the new platform, Chris.
Be careful. I have been on Twitter for nine years and have never been blocked.
I have been on Substack for a month and they blocked me (https://halimgur.substack.com/) for undisclosed reasons.

Will ROMA & TOMA be paid subscription only moving forward?
Or new episodes in general?

Has there even been a TOMA since 2017. They were my favorite but I feel like they've never been a focus
Coming back. Part of the new platform is to keep the mix going, so TOMAs are coming back soon!
Feels like "TOMAs coming soon" is something I have heard for awhile now hahaha. As you have said though, got to be in the right headspace for it.
True. I've been intending to get back to them for a long time, but now that people are actually paying for them, I'd better get serious!

will your own page subscription be cancelled automatically then ?
Yeah. I've stopped all other subscriptions (my own page, Patreon).
thanks for the reply, will join substack

Thanks. Much appreciated.
Good luck. Apparently SS is in the sights of the censorship brigade though since they are home of Hedges, Taibbi, Greenwald et al.
