I think... substack sucks

 So I had created a substack account, you know...  'cause apparently all the cool cats are in it. 

I think it took less than three days from my original article post and my account got suspended...!  Seriously!?! 😑 

I did finally figure out how to do an appeal.  We'll see what comes of that.  In the mean time, this is what my article was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To the people of substack and the internet in general:

How to even begin? Never mind whether this could or should be a treatise, manifesto, or even a Magnum Opus.

What is substack? Just another platform? A bastion of hope in memory of those who have fallen to the algorithms, AI slop, shadow bans, and partisan echo chambers? A light in the dead internet? Is it even a light?

Can substack or it's founders and funders be trusted? Most know how a platform can go from hurray to run away with the stroke of a pen from a sellout. There have likely been exponentially more examples of those than so called free media portals than might exist, today.

Beyond that paranoia, is there even any point to stepping up and presenting an opinion to the world? Is anyone even really listening or is everyone just doom scrolling or yelling into the aether, in competition to the hundreds of millions of other humans desperate to showcase their pretend life or financial grift?

Ah well… I suppose there's one person who might welcome conversations on topics that could be enlightening and timely. Apolitical and anarchic. Educational or revolutionary or maybe just hopeful.

So here it goes, I suppose. A message, not in a bottle, while it might as well be for the chances it might meet an audience.

What is FReedom eXchange and why is this lesser… meh, sub… stack here? Well, it's not so much a long story, although it could be a perpetual one.

FReedom eXchange, or shortened to FRX (which is pronounced freaks, or phreaks, for those who might know), is an homage and community for all those who still believe in human freedoms. The sharing of information. And the freedom to associate and form communities in a volatile and ever disruptive world.

If you would like to see what develops and perhaps would like to participate in learning, sharing, discussing, and collaborating on topics of freedoms without rulers, then please subscribe and perhaps hopefully, we can all thrive with what comes of the future.
