Thank you, Rebecca. I’m so glad to hear that. It’s as if you’re in ‘real life’ isn’t it? 😂 We get so caught up with our online lives, that it become the main focus.
This is very weird. Just today I saw three or four comments in Office Hours where folks acknowledged that Substack is indeed another social media. It wasn't supposed to be that way I think, but little by little it seems to be creeping into people's comments. Before, it was stuff like "I'm glad Substack isn't social media", and now I see more like "It's great that Substack isn't like *other* social media."
Anyhow, just jumping in because it caught my attention - and I enjoyed the article. Thanks Slart!
Thanks for reading Victor! Yes I have been thinking about this a lot. I guess Notes is more like social media, but the thing with Substack, it’s a writing platform which is hybridised into an email list too. I guess the notes function is optional to use, but it’s been great for discovering new writers.
So many good points - and beautifully made!
I'm not on any social media apart from Substack - and gosh, it's certainly made a difference to how I live my life, as well as my enjoyment of it. 😊

You're so right!
But we don’t even realise when we’re doing it, just feels like part of life!

This is music to my ears Mishelle! Well, instagram even did the job for you! 👏🏼
