My avoidance of Notes is purely about me. My brain responds strongly to the attention incentives of social media. It’s no good for me at any level. Not everybody has that problem! For me it’s like giving up potato chips or jelly beans or alcohol--I can only stick to it if I just don’t have the stuff around. I hope it remains a thoughtful and rich place for everyone who participates. 💖
I'm checking out Substack today, actually, because some of my Patreon patrons keep having payment issues. I ran a poll, and about a quarter of them said they'd hop over to a parallel Substack if there were one. So I may be joining you soon.
I recently started Twitter to practice writing short form before creating a newsletter. I can't stand social media on the whole, especially Instagram and FB... but I must say Reddit and Quora still hold my attention. I hope Notes replaces Twitter. It's a welcome newbie. Thanks for sharing this new option!

Yeah I’m curious to see how Notes plays out. Mixed feelings.

I'm loving it so far!
We live in hope 🤞🏻
