For ages now, I’ve been planning to move to a different platform for myriad reasons.

In the next month-ish, I’m making the leap and need your feedback about what would better serve you:

Option 1: I move to another dedicated newsletter service (Buttondown), move all your paid and free subscriptions, etc. You don’t need to do anything, paid subscribers will be billed the same amount, and will continue receiving newsletters as usual.

Option 2: I go old school and move my newsletter back on to my own Wordpress site. All subscriptions will be moved over, and paid converted to free subscriptions: And you can resubscribe as a paid subscriber for $3/month ($2/month less than here).

Essentially, the convenience of being automatically rerouted to a new platform, vs. cost saving (for paid subscribers), but which requires you to hit ‘resubscribe’ and re-enter your details.

UPDATE 2/2/2026: I moved everything over to Wordpress and paused paid subscriptions, only to learn that Wordpress’ newsletter provider (Jetpack) doesn’t let me do discounts or give away subscriptions.
I’m trying to figure out a way around that for the long-term, so I can still offer sales/discounts on newsletter subscriptions each year (it will still accept regular subscriptions, so paid subscribers can go ahead and re-subscribe using this link). In the meantime, you’ll get your regular email (but from the new newsletter platform) tomorrow.

I’ll let you know which I pick, and either way it’ll be a light lift from you.

If you also have a newsletter I’m happy to go into detail about the benefits/drawbacks of each of these options, why I’m moving primary posting over to another platform, etc. at some point.

I’ll still be here cross-posting content to Notes, so you’ll still see me on this platform, the only difference is the emails themselves will generate from a different service.

Thanks as always for subscribing!
