Re: reading in newsletter (email) format. Very happy you will keep this around. Having a great website is hugely important but I also love that I get your stuff in my inbox and can easily read it there when time allows.

I've liked Substack's set up, and I am a subscriber to Defector (and am enjoying their site too), so a win either way. Glad things are going so well!

This is excellent, exciting news!

The only snag for me personally is that I think Substack's commenting system both looks and works better than Alley's (Defector.) That said, I subscribe for all you wonderful writers; the community is just the sweet, sweet gravy on top. I'm so glad this is all working out!!

Great news. I'll read you wherever you are, but I have to admit I find your current home a bit bland. Looking forward to something a bit more eye-catching.

This is very good and I'm happy for you all. I friggin love Defector, and I hope that there's a path where the two sites support each others' work and build up your subscriber base. You know, like how it used to be only without moneyed overlords ruining everything.

This is wonderful news! Now I won’t read the article in my mail browser and have to scroll back up to click on the link to make sure the page view is tracked.

I still use an RSS reader to know when there are new posts rather than the newsletter. Will that still be possible?
