I’ve been holding off launching a community because I knew Substack was building one. Now that threads has been launched, I’m very excited about the idea of keeping my community all on one platform, instead of making them migrate between them. Hopefully we can bring communities back, in a better way!

Great article, Simon.

I'd also emphasize:

1. Twitter is the place where most publicly accessible conversation around articles will take place.

2. Publications offering Discords/Slacks or fostering active online comment sections need to take a benevolent dictator approach to content moderation and not hesitate to delete comments/ban users that violate rules. In audience interaction, one or two bad apples can ruin an entire forum realllllll quick.
