Good for you, Katy, for following your heart. I read the links you provided and, if it were me, I would do the same as you. I will continue to follow you for as long as I'm able.
I found you because of the algorithm but I also just migrated elsewhere for similar reasons and have the same fears but figured right now is the time to do it!
Thank you for opening my eyes. I have a lot to think about. I notice you still have a subscribe option on Substack that will migrate to Buttondown. Will you keep your Substack profile open for a bit? If so, how long are you giving your readers to make the switch if you plan to delete your account?
I will be keeping my Substack live for quite awhile, but not publishing on it. There are many links out in the world that link back to it, so I'm keeping it as a placeholder for now. Anyone who subscribes via Substack during that time will get added as a subscriber on Buttondown.
You have to do what's best for YOU. Proud of you, friend <3
Good for you! I am happily staying with you!
Always with you!
Good luck. I’ll be checking my email more often now.
Trying new things can be scary but one foot in front of the other and you've got this!

Always supporting you, my friend!
I prefer the email and rarely use the Substack app - so this works for me!
Love your work Katy, happy to continue to support it!
I feel like I'm always the last to figure out the problematic aspects of a platform.
Loved your email! Thank you for all you do!!!

Thanks for the extra info. Wishing you well in your switch!
