Some folks might be thinking, “Unlike the Fediverse, Substack gives writers an opportunity to get paid.”
Not so fast.
When npub1hgr7umlexec6xmg89w2u75ajlqt5dhmql8jdue09pgj5zzdzh2zqw92e7r (npub1hgr…2e7r) was nearly shut down because they lacked funding for operations, they turned to the Fediverse for help.
Within 48 hours, we helped them raise $250,000 in funding—and now that 70-year-old newspaper still lives.
As a result 17 journalists still have their jobs.
