 I think getting those who have been deplatformed or shadowbanned on other services are an easy win, journalists around the world who need something more robust, this will help showcase the tech and bring readers who might convert

 
 Seems like Substack is winning a lot of hearts and minds here. What would you tell a journalist who is evaluating going all-in on Substack versus Nostr? 
 Absolutely, authors are loving substack, and it looks like Medium is still hanging around, but I would say that Substack is not censorship resistant, they've removed content in the past

And the fees for your readers/you is 18% to use the platform, that's pretty steep and you're leaving money on the table
