I'd like to thank you for all the time and effort you put into this wonderful list. I got the chance to enjoy many of his poems and stories for the first time thanks to you and Poe Fortnightly. Thank you so much!

I'm sorry to see you go. Personally, I am not leaving a platform because heinous people are on it. I don't think retreat is good for any of us in the long run. I think good people like you should stay here and overwhelm the tiny minority of truly ugly people. However, you must do what you think is right, of course. Best wishes to you, and ... and I really ought to have an awesome Poe quote but none seem to fit. So, I'll just repeat: best wishes.

Thank you for all the great posts!! I'll definitely miss it, and it looks like publishers that I care are going to Behiive. I'm glad you are leaving Substack too!

I've enjoyed this list very much! Thanks for doing it, and also thanks for your principled stand, reminding us fellow publishers that there are options besides abiding.

Good luck. Buttondown.email and Ghost both look good for smaller mailing lists, or larger lists with a business plan and income etc.

Thank you for sharing Poe with us for so long. And closing off with one of my favorites of his poems!

You're welcome! I am really happy that a bunch of random strangers I'll never meet got to read a bunch of cool old stories and poems.
