@FediTips I assume that given enough time to migrate, I hope I click less on links towards substack and click more on links that use Ghosts, but I guess time will tell how the adoption goes, but good luck to Ghosts for sure I hope they can make it. @FediTips @scottytrees It's about half-way between Substack and WordPress. Like Substack, you can have a paywall and send email newsletters, but on the other hand you can create a custom theme for a Ghost site (unlike Substack). However, it's not a general-purpose CMS like WordPress increasingly is, and there probably won't ever be plugins either. But hey, everyone complains about WordPress's scope creep, so if you want *just* blogging, Ghost might work for you. |

It's more like WordPress I think? Substack sites all tend to look the same.
I guess Ghost's option for paid subs is substack-like though?
