The Popehat Report Is Moving To Beehiiv

As I mentioned before, the Popehat Report is moving to Beehiiv, a different platform for blogs and newsletters. You can find it at www.popehat.com.   The next email you get from me should be from there.  Everyone's subscriptions should transfer over. The first time I sent an email from there, in a few minutes, it might go to your spam, so you may want to check that. I will be posting links to everything on Bluesky, Threads, and Facebook so you'll know if you're missing something.  You'll be able to subscribe (or unsubscribe, if your time of tolerating me is coming to a middle) just as easily there.

I made this decision for a number of reasons, only one of which is related to recent controversy.  As I said before, I don't judge anyone for deciding to stay on Substack, and I think a preference for a hands-off moderation stance is one of many reasonable approaches to complex and intractable problems.  To the contrary, I find the denunciations of people who stay here (or who leave) to be contrived and unreasonable.  In fact, I will still be on Substack as a co-host on Serious Trouble, which is hosted here, and I'm fine with that.  For my own personal blog, this is what's right for me.   I've changed platforms a dozen times writing under the Popehat name and may live to change a dozen more.  The new platform will let me make some design changes and be a little more "bloggy," for want of a better word.

Watch for the first Beehiiv post to follow this one today in a short while.
