WHY MY SUBSTACK ALTERNATIVE TO FACEBOOK
FB is more dysfunctional all the time. At least it seems that way to me.
Every other post is “sponsored” or “suggested.” It has less all the time about family, friends and things I care about as these nuisance posts crowd them out. Its functionality is also getting wonky with jerky scrolling and notifications that don’t post. That’s not to mention being put in FB jail by an algorithm. Some of the useful features they used to have available have been taken away or are hard to find.
For all these reasons, I started this Substack. I know it’s a another site to check out. However I will also link my writing to FB so all you readers – who are interested in a deeper dive and more thoughtful take – can jump in. I hope you enjoy my rants and maybe even decide to buy me a cup of coffee.

To all you Newbies to Substack, like me. You don't have to subscribe. But you could buy me a cup of coffee. That's a one time donation. It's just like a tip jar. I appreciate everyone who takes time to read my screeds, even if you don't throw in a buck or two.
