@alongtheray I second @JohnPhilpin’s question. To add:

> But why not keep your blog alive as your central home at the same time?

Because Substack is the blog.

> My point is to at least keep a separate blog as your home archive of All Your Things in the event Substack ever goes down or goes out of business.

Couldn’t the same be said for virtually any platform that’s not open source? Also, why does it matter as long as the posts are exportable in a standard format, which they are, and so is the email list. Along with custom domain support, how is Substack any different or incompatible from other blogging platforms at a functional level?
