    This is why it'd be great if bloggers more frequently provided topical, off-site recommendations in post footers. It's functionally like Substack's internal links but connects the …

    I mean, can't you accomplish the same thing with "enter your email/social handle to be notified when I post something"?

    There are guides but it amounts to "use popular services to link to your website". Post snippets on the bird apps, social media hellscapes, and aggregators like this one. Duplicate…

    Zinger? I was just rephrasing the parent comment, highlighting how this has nothing to do with the reason DROP exists. They are welcome to continue voting however they like, I'm no…
