Hi Ahmad. I think the website would be better in the long run. Signal is great for messaging and chat, but it isn’t the best platform for sharing detailed content. Hopefully your subscribers will include some useful peeps who can help you build it.
We can’t really fully trust any system other than sitting in the woods with zero tech however it’s got to be heaps better than the complete desktop monitoring of Windows or your photo library on OSX.
Hello doc. I will be leaving Substack at the end of December due to them capitulating to Australia's age assurance legislation. I am pulling the pin and removing all my content. If everyone did the same thing they would lose money and crash and burn. I have been publicly demonetising since July. https://vicparkpetition.substack.com/p/in-christ-hope
I think your own website would be the best option Ahmad. You'd have more control that way. Richie Allen has his own website. It might be worth speaking with him. Other external platforms will undoubtedly come under fire and you could well and up just bed-hopping tbh.
We'll support you whatever you decide to do. You were mentioned by Dave Cartland today as one of only a few genuine honest and trusted podcast producers. We really don't want to lose you.
Chilling news, Dr. Malik. I hope you'll keep posting on Substack. Maybe commenters could leave comments on Signal. Good for you, refusing to put yourself in their "system". I'll leave off the swear words that come to mind about these people.
Thank you for watching out for all of us, Ahmad. Everytime I turn around, they're hankering after that data. I just went through some rigamarole to order some garage cabinets because my password had 'expired.' Do they go bad? And it won't let me set up a keypad on my AirBnB without putting a password, face recog or thumbprint on my phone, which I won't do. First, shouldn't I be the one to decide? Second, let me put it on my computer if they're worried about my phone being stolen. But the pressure is the point.
Since I'm not on chat, I won't weigh in on the options except to say do what's right for you.
ASM Dr. Malik: I am skittish about installing any non-native application. I believe Signal would require that. Therefore, I am for you to develop your own website, even if it is a little more expensive. I will contribute towards that.
I just started a chat with Hello and wasn’t asked for anything. Paying subscribers don’t need to age verify because their ownership of a credit card satisfies the requirement. Why don’t you keep it going just for paying subscribers for a while to see how the land lies?
Maybe I need to become a paid subscriber to my own substack????
I totally support you Doc, I will not give biometric information under any circumstances.

Both options my friend. Signal won’t always be an option either. We need as many options as possible to stay connected.
Definitely worth building your own platform but make sure it’s hosted by yourself and your friends too. Plenty of options out there for that.
Also look into migrating to Linex away from Windows and OSX.
We have to build just about everything ourselves (the awake community) from now on in.

Well may as well just give up then

I do not negotiate with terrorists.
I don't want to pass through PERSONA IDENTIFICATION

Oui! Moi aussi je pense que c'est beaucoup mieux un site web à lui comme celui de TCN ou Tucker Carlson Networks .. !!
What about a Telegram channel?

Also, how do we get added to a signal group if we've not messaged you on it before? BTW I have signal, just never messaged anyone!

I'm told Wire is more secure than Signal.
Substack feed is a Hotchpotch of conflicting opinions designed to sow division.

I voted for "website" given that there is a risk that any platform, including e.g. Signal, will go the way of Substack
