Substack’s Twitter account has been suspended [EDIT: I was wrong] (twitter.com) 9 points by mmorearty 3y ago ↗ HN
[–] cocacola1 3y ago ↗ I imagine that probably puts an end to the "it must be a bug" considerations. Seems a bit heavy handed.But this seems to be Substack's official account: https://twitter.com/substackincOr just someone paying for the check & masquerading, so I can't be sure.
[–] mattwest 3y ago ↗ Hilarious that Twitter thinks of Substack as a rival. I don't think they are similar products at all.One platform is has a temporal advantage, and the other has a quality advantage.No one is going to Substack for breaking news and no one is going to twitter for nuanced, quality perspectives.Linking between the two is net positive, is it not? [–] brucethemoose2 3y ago ↗ > no one is going to twitter for nuanced, quality perspectives.No one should be going there for that, but some are, and Twitter doesn't want to pop that reality bubble. [–] WarOnPrivacy 3y ago ↗ You joke not. That day Twitter first mucked up the timeline - just to freaking shunt us all into echo chambers - it was the end of whatever didn't suck. [–] rurban 3y ago ↗ Substack launched Notes, which is an explicit rival to Twitter. See the twitterfiles journalist Matt Taibbi quitting Twitter over that.

One platform is has a temporal advantage, and the other has a quality advantage.
No one is going to Substack for breaking news and no one is going to twitter for nuanced, quality perspectives.
