I think the nature of the forum is different enough that there is plenty of room in the market for both. He allows cross-posting from many other sites, so why not let users do the same with this one? That's just part of the nature of social media. The users determine the content, unless the site specifies that it will be heavily curated. Users value maximum transparency about such things. Back when the MSM news shows were heavily promoting Twitter, before Elon bought it, I began to suspect that it was being curated by the same group of political actors. Now that they are regularly trashing it, it's pretty clear that's no longer the case. I hope Musk comes to see that Substack is not an enemy, but a potential ally against the forces of censorship hounding him.
I was under the impression that Musk reinstated the ability to link to substack or stopped blocking it or...within a few days of the uproar.
I opened a twitter account when Steve Kirsch was reinstated and asked us to follow him. I never tweeted. I deleted my twitter account soon thereafter when I heard that Elon was rebranding twitter the 'X Corp.'. That's supposed to be the 'everything-app' like the Chinese WeChat. Although I'm not at all familiar with WeChat, I think it does a lot of things including give users a social credit score. Along with CBDC's, which are already being trialed (look at the WEF's Project Icebreaker), this sounds quite ominous to me.
I'm still open minded about Elon but I view him with suspicion. He does some things that seem great but then I hear about things like this X Corp and I am become very suspicous.
