      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. I wrote up a tutorial here to walk you through it:https://balajis.com/set-up-a-paid-newsletter-at-your-own-domain/ …

      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/ …

      Come for the newsletter, stay for the network? One approach to replacing Twitter is as follows: given enough newsletters at their own domains, we can experiment with decentralized web tech for linking them together, starting with a joint paid RSS feed. https://balajis.com/how-to-gradually-exit-twitter/ …pic.twitter.com/zQw87dNFW9

      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 …
