It's time to gradually exit Twitter. While Substack is great, it's better to set up a paid newsletter at your own domain. You can do this in an hour and maintain it for less than $30 per month.

Why gradually exit Twitter? It's not just the hack. There are many overlapping issues around security, authentication, pseudonymity, distribution, incentives, and culture. I greatly respect Jack and everything he's built. But we need a change.https://balajis.com/how-to-gradually-exit-twitter/ …

Feel free to stop after you set up your paid newsletter. It's a useful thing in its own right. But in terms of what's next, we may be able to knit these newsletters together into a decentralized media community, with individual sites as the new profiles.https://balajis.com/how-to-gradually-exit-twitter/ …

Also, if you're an employee of a media corp, you may not realize this but I really do want you to be CEO of your own publication! So consider this a general amnesty for all past flamewars. Specifically if you have issues with setting up your paid newsletter, DM and I'll help.

By the way, you can make all posts free and just build up a mailing list. Making posts paid is wholly optional.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1284473850894270465 …
