I really thought I’d like this because I left Twitter post-Musk last year and didn’t like how it left me feeling mentally. But there were some aspects of it I’ve missed and so I thought this might fill that niche as I find Substack a lot healthier. However, after the initial excitement wore off, I noticed that Notes was doing to me exactly what Twitter, Instagram, etc did which was feed my anxieties and jealousies and suck me into short hits of dope that I’m trying to get away from. Essentially, it’s feeding my mental illnesses just like regular social media and so it unfortunately isn’t for me, even though I see the use. Maybe when I’m in a better space I’ll try Notes again.
Best wishes to everyone involved — including the real and virtual readers-aloud, whom we rely upon to assist our access to this array of thoughtful stuff.
I'm interested in seeing how people use Notes (including myself!) I've tried out the restacking facility and love it. It's great for taking a comment and using it to start a completely new discussion.
If Substack Notes can become twitter but with writers instead of drama, I’m here for it!
So this is how democracy thrives.
Substack is turning into the ideal platform for sharing ideas. An exciting future awaits
Notes looks really promising. Excellent stuff, Substack!
Can’t remember the last time I had this much fun on the public internet (as opposed to in private group chats etc).
Hopefully Notes will replace doomscrolling with joyscrolling for many twitter refugees.
