plus i can't really think of a great way to host long-form pieces on discord. the substack was the best alternative and i have a feeling it's not a popular way for lurkers and beginners to consume information here (but i'd love to see a survey to see if that's true or not, and to get a sense of how resources are being used)

the target of those posts were beginners but it seems like their needs are better served through chatting and asking in q&a, so then what's the point or incentive to write all of that if only a handful of people read it anyway

this isn't to say any of the new things written during the mfad era are not important or well made — i just don't think anyone but the 100 or so regulars are reading any of it or going to the substack

do lurkers on the server even read guides or long-form pieces? "how to breathe" was fun to write (i kind of cringe at some of it but too far gone to edit it now lol) and i really love writing, but those pieces feel like they were of an era in the community where long-form posts were consumed more
