I write political economic reports as a hobby just a neutral slightly cynical take on things. **The challenge is finding a platform that doesn’t collect data while also being active and having users interested in these topics.**
(Mainstream social media is out of the question. No)
Platforms i've tried :
lemmy, mastodon, substuck, writefreely
I want to hear you reasons, why do you think that.
Lemmy: i find myself being overly polished when writing -> makes my posts feel ai generated (something against the rules). Mastodon: I havent found a server that aligns with what im looking for + ran into the same issue as on lemmy (+ not a fan of the twitter layout. Upvotes, downvotes, comments are the best). Substack: even with vpn and temp email still detected my actual country code when suggesting that i add a phone number. WriteFreely: It’s hard to reach an audience unless you already have one.
