and for anyone who doesn't need the easy-monetization features of substack and just desires a plug and play mailing list blog- Mataroa https://mataroa.blog/ is a service I think very highly of.

Molly White, who has one of the most successful newsletters about crypto-bullshit out there, migrated from Substack to Ghost a while ago and wrote about the experience here https://www.citationneeded.news/substack-to-self-hosted-ghost/

She also posted some tables comparing the cost of different "newsletter" providers (Substack, Ghost, and a few lesser-known options) and Substack isn't even the cheapest tool for the job the moment one wants to charge a subscription fee. It's just what people know. Here's the Bluesky thread, but I'm sure this is also posted on Mastodon https://web-cdn.bsky.app/profile/molly.wiki/post/3ldjfifzuuk2d
