Freedom/Liberty/Substack
Look to what our Founding Fathers had to do in order to get information to the masses, under the noses of the autocratic rule of King George III of Great Britain! The Patriots held secret meetings & wrote pamphlets, & other things. After the Revolution, the First Amendment was adopted, the Right to Free Speech! We still have that Right today, but in the Information Age of the internet, we again have the need to disseminate information “secretly” because of government/private collusion to censor Free Speech. Substack is a wonderful means to share ideas and information in a Free-Speech forum.Show lessHRBJJASA
Better through email
I check my emails on my laptop. I enjoyed the convenience of hearing robert Reich’s podcast by clicking on the email. I don’t like the extra steps needed going through Substack. I also don’t like the female robot voice reading his work either. He has his own form of inspirational speech. Please make all of his recordings available through clicking on email. Substack should be available on MacBook Pro. I have it on my iPhone, but I don’t like switching my earphones to my phone. My laptop continues to be my workhorse. I view my iPhone as an entertainment device, but listening to Mr Reich is a part of my work routine, as pleasurable as it is…. Thank you.
Also, commenting should also be made more easily available on my laptop too, btw. This was the original sin. Now I have to login through my iPhone, which knocked my rating down yet another star…Show lessINPAX Ronin
App failure
I have finally been able to access Substack by loading it on my iPad. I have loaded it on my iPhone and am unable to get it to open. I have stripped it out and reloaded it about 6 times on my iPhone but when I use the link it will not open and the circle just goes around …
I really want it on my iPhone as well! Too hard to locate anywhere to report the issue. All of my favourite writers are here and I need this glitch fixed.Show lessLesliedh
A rare beacon in the world gone mad
A rare beacon in todays world: aware and steeped in philosophical truth and wisdom of the ages, much like America’s Founding Fathers, combined with many insights from times since; politically and ruling elite irreverent, read and thoroughly appreciated for over 20 years now. As I am now residing in Córdoba, Argentina with one of my brothers, away from the insanity of the “developed” economies of the northern hemisphere, one of my longest desires is to visit him on his ranch, drink some good wine and engage in a meaningful conversation, maybe lasting for days
I hope Bill, that you will grant me that wish when you return to Argentina, as I am earnest in that wish, and I hold that in my mind during this Thanksgiving 2022. Ad thanks for being you!

Can a platform make a writer better?
I discovered Substack through Holly Becker of decor8. In a recent conversation about content creation she mentioned how she approaches fitting content to the platform. I can feel the difference in the other communications I receive from her. Substack feels more like email from a friend.
So I’m trying it out and as a writer it feels lighter more immediate and impromptu. If it helps me deliver content that’s shorter and more relatable then it’ll also have helped make me a better writer.Show lesskellyjgrace
A Place to Breathe
It should never take such a diligent search to learn all sides of a topic but it does. Substack provides a resource for understanding, facts and choices from voices silenced by irrational, purposefully ignorant mob mentality.
We never must allow others to force their will on our lives. We calmly gather information, assess what is true and what is not and sweep it out of our lives. It is no longer a consideration. Calmly, purposefully, step out of the vortex of lies and suppression of truth.
That cannot be done when facts are suppressed as the profit driven forces are pressuring us to do every minute of every day.
Embrace your intelligence and calmly decide the most healthful course in your life. It is your life, no one else's. Our only allegiance is to our Creator to whom we look for guidance throughout our lives.Show lessRocklin-1
excellent alternative to other social media platforms
substack has always been a great home for writers who don’t want a character limit or to have to play the algorithm game. I appreciate the work that went into this great app and the great reading experience it provides. It really changes the game — I have all my substack emails filtered into the trash, but check this app multiple times per day. thanks substack!Show lesstammeri
Good job
As I continue to watch the growth of Lukie Boxing I admire his professional growth along with his desire to be a successful journalist and an excellent writer. His info is up to date and he continues to respect the boxers, trainers, and promoters without “trashing” anyone. Too many feel they are “experts” when they are not any where close. Lukie doesn’t let his ego kill the message. He delivers with integrity. We need more writers like him. The Al Bersteins and Dave Bontempo’s of boxing have to be smiling. They never let their egos get in the way of their integrity. Keep punching Luke. You are doing well.Show lessKEEPPUNCHING.COM
Needs to have parity with their web site
The app is fine, and I would use it more if it did all of what the web site does.
The feature I miss most when using the app is the ability to collapse comment threads in the comment section. There are usually long threads, and I often collapse them so I can move on to the next comment without having to scroll through pages of replies. This is not a small omission because even when in the app, I will close it and go to the web site to read comments.
The other feature I miss in the app is the ability to scale up the text using pinch-to-zoom. My eyesight isn’t great, and sometimes I like to make the text larger to make it easier to read. As far as I know, the app does not support this. Even just a setting to change the font size would work.
The only thing the app does better than the web site might be notifications. Also, the web site has a feedback problem when you click like on a comment where sometimes it works but there is no visual feedback. That does not happen in the app.
But, overall, the app is not as functional as the web site, and so for that reason, I don’t see much reason to use it.Show lessRichS617
Sean Plunkett
I used to hear Sean on Radio live and disagreed with most of what he said and detested some of it. I sent a txt one day to voice my disapproval of something he said and the next thing I’m being accused of being a racist on air. (It was nothing to do with race)
I like the stuff from you that I’ve read so far and to hear you have the same disregard for Sean Plunkett! That prompted me to immediately pay the subscription.Show lessGrannyval66
