Pack Your Corporate Social Media Go Bag
If you use #Bluesky or #Substack have an escape plan!
As repeatedly demonstrated, corporate platforms are vulnerable. Will you be ready when they inevitably bend to data exploitation, political manipulation and censorship? Has it already started?
Have a plan to evacuate to Public Social Media. Create backup accounts on #Mastodon and #Ghost and use them as secondaries. Be prepared. Begin building your online presence free from corporate overlords.
Looks like #Ghost may be joining the #Fediverse!
I hope this is real and not hype because Ghost is my favourite blogging platform – a great alternative to #Medium and #Substack!
They already got great email integration. Adding ActivityPub would be beautiful!
If you're still using Substack for your newsletter and want to migrate to Ghost, which has announced that it will join the fediverse this year, here's a step-by-step guide by @wes. It covers costs, what you'll need, setting up Mailgun and Cloudflare, how to move over your posts and subscribers and numerous other helpful details.
