What are the best platforms for publishing reports >:0 (lemmy.ml)

I write political economic reports as a hobby just a neutral slightly cynical take on things. The challenge is finding a platform that doesn’t collect data while also being active and having users interested in these topics. (Mainstream social media is out of the question. No) Platforms i've tried : lemmy, mastodon, substuck, writefreely

Please remove the Bot Account flag from your account, as you are not a bot.

I don’t know what service is not going to collect data, when data is necessary to run said service. And unless your reports are behind a hard paywall, they will be scraped by countless web crawlers anyway.

If you run your own service, you may be able to protect somewhat more of your data than if you pay someone else to run it.

But you haven’t elaborated on exactly what data you want to protect and from whom. You haven’t described your threat model.

Right. Thank you

I'd genuinely suggest self hosting the reports on a site you control (possibly using a CRM that's self hosted of some sort of hosting service) and then just link it into various places.

As simple as fuck static content webserver can be run on random extra hardware you have lying around or a budget cloud instance and domain names are cheap.

What's wrong with the platforms you've tried?

[–] Nyxphoebe@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lemmy: i find myself being overly polished when writing -> makes my posts feel ai generated (something against the rules). Mastodon: I havent found a server that aligns with what im looking for + ran into the same issue as on lemmy (+ not a fan of the twitter layout. Upvotes, downvotes, comments are the best). Substack: even with vpn and temp email still detected my actual country code when suggesting that i add a phone number. WriteFreely: It’s hard to reach an audience unless you already have one.

Checks modlog…
Don’t emulate the LLM format if you don’t want to be mistaken for LLM slop.

Is there a specific format that LLM's follow?
Is it the use of bullet points?
