👍🙂 You might want to talk to Helen Dale as she seemed to be having some difficulty with the same process:

Though maybe she has fixed it by now.

It was actually as a result of watching her travails, and the travails of some others I know that I chose a different process for dealing with it. Start from - can I understand the instructions for how to link to Substack for this domain provider? Then work backwards… Eh, well, remedies lawyer, I always start with the remedy. 🤣

But I can appreciate your "travails" with "The Bird App" -- I was summarily defenestrated there recently, probably for "excessive" tweets of my Substack posts. Don't think Musk has really changed the "culture" there, just changed the colour of the hats his Support people are wearing ...

Oh no, you were chucked out too? I know this has happened to several people lately. I say again - it’s dreadfully short-sighted.

Yeah. Canons [sic] to the Left of us, canons [sic] to the Right ... 🙂

"Amused" that Musk was anathematizing "cis", and appreciate he went to bat for Walsh's documentary. But still some "systemic" flaws there he isn't doing much to rectify -- if he's not contributing to them.

Hi Katy,

Which hosting mob did you go with?

Just Google domains - $18 per annum - and I found the instructions easiest to follow. If you need help swapping over I can send you a screenshot of how I did it…

Bernard Lane's avatar

Please do send screenshot. I am lost in mumbo jumbo land.

Aye I feel your pain. Have sent message via Twitter messages. It has basically taken me two months to work this out, and watching several other people have tremendous troubles.

I also love her stuff. She and I have a good deal in common, I think - disability, getting over childhood trauma etc.
