One thing is certain; recently, I noticed that some entities "Like" everything I comment. Looks like data collection to me by bots.

Could be something as mundane as a system upgrade, data backup or migration. You definitely don't want users interacting while conducting any of those, although a "system temporarily unavailable" message would be nice. So would a lot of other things that Substack lacks, but I'm not holding my breath.

The not being able to edit my own comment happened to me yesterday. Maybe just a glitch?

Ray do you think if Substack had more money better software engineering would happen or is this too sophisticated for Substack who cannot compete with old BBS boards like the WELL?

Just checking. I don’t know how they appear!

I’m not a bot. Sometimes I forget to like what I read or I just get tired of liking it. Lol

Sometimes I have the option to edit my comment, other times it’s not in the 3 little dots.

Like everything, substack will morph into the establishment. Duckduckgo took 3 years or so. Another site will take its place and do the same. It's just the nature of money, greed, power, etc.

If Substack falls, we are running out of uncensored media. Check their FULL plan:

I had an issue with editing. Reported it to Substack with my browser and ios details and after awhile the functionality came back

It could just be a technical issue. If there is a caching issue or some other malfunction, then some functions may not work properly. The AJAX wasnt fully working.

Oh dear Ray. I like nearly everything you post. But don’t like everything I get sent. Nor do I read everything.

It reminds me of something I posted a while back. I asked ‘how will you prepare for the time when we no longer have substack or access to any alt media’ ?

It’s to prepare for a time when we are all on our own, having to use our own critical thinking skills.

Of course they’re going to be attacking substack servers. Just like they went after Rumble’s and Odyssey’s. I guess it means substack has reached critical mass. Like when you get to 1,500 followers on Twitter. The Intel pay attention.

Having been kicked off every internet site, social media platform and MSM comment site I believe it would be insane to think that substack is somehow pristine and protected against the DARPAbots. You cut too close to the truth to be uncensored in 2023. The gulags are coming for us all!
