I have been using Substack Notes for a while (the note on the piece below isn’t my first), but it’s taken some time for me to figure out (and I’m not all the way there yet, either, being a fat-fingered technophobe).
However, it does seem to be a healthier environment than Twitter or other social media platforms, at least at present.
I plan to use Notes for things that don’t fit in the newsletter, like work-in-progress, thought-bubbles, and quick questions.
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to Not On Your Team, But Always Fair, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around.
You can also share notes of your own. I hope to see some of them in due course.
If you encounter any issues, you can always refer to the Notes FAQ for assistance. Looking forward to seeing you there!
One does have to dodge the femino-woke a bit more on Notes these days since the apparent influx of the offended Twitterati. But it is nice to see that the majority of Substack people on Notes aren't keen to let that set take over the conversation.
