Outpost (power tools for membership-focussed publishers that use Ghost) migrated our servers and member publishers’ data to the E.U. It doesn’t make our publishers immune to U.S. stuff, but we think it’s *prudent* + with new architecture, it’s faster outpost.pub/you-outpost-...

We work with a lot of different publishers who run memberships/subscriptions/newsletters, and here's what we see really works to build a long-term loyal audience. Fun office hours with @lexroman.com outpost.pub/outpost-offi...

Isaac Saul's Tangle moved off #Substack in Sept '21 to Ghost and Outpost with 27,000 readers Almost 5 years later after a ton of work, Tangle has 12 employees, 500K subs and $4M in annual revenue, almost all from subscriptions. Still on Outpost + Ghost So proud! pressgazette.co.uk/newsletters/...

I'm very happy with Ghost. Even more happy after discovering @outpost.pub, the combination of the two giving you way more advantages than Substack offers, without taking the big cut of your revenue that Substack does

If you are a legacy site that wants to be serious about subscriptions, the first step is getting off #WordPress. You aren't going to be successful running a subscription site using an architecture built out of a bunch of Lincoln logs.

@aftermath.site launched its new site today on @ghost.org and @outpost.pub They are lovely people who run a worker-owned site, which just turned two! We're thrilled to get to work with them as a member publisher, and we love the new theme built for them by the good folks at @brightthemes

The student newspaper. This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

It would be nothing, like NOTHING, for a handful of lefty donors to fund a pipeline for truly leftist media that could rival the fascist apparatus and give hundreds of fact-oriented journalists jobs and set up dozens, maybe hundreds, of local news outfits, fully staffed, for 5+ years or more

Here's this week's Better Offline. I'm joined by @molly.wiki to talk about how RSS can purify your news experience, the challenge of the newsletter economy, and what gives her optimism for the future. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... linktr.ee/betteroffline

Why @thexylom.com will never use Substack (and Twitter). It does not reflect our values as the only Asian American-run science news outlet. We've loved @buttondown.com and we're also moving our CMS from Wix to @ghost.org @outpostcoop.bsky.social. You can subscribe to our free newsletter here:
