Trying The Substack Chat Thingy
Is it something, or is it nothing?
I tend to be leery of time-sucking technology, but Dystopian Living readers are cool and smart (and probably good-looking too), so I've activated the Dystopian Living subscriber chat on Substack's new app. This provides a hub for us to communicate with each other, outside the comments sections of individual posts. Let me know if you think this is worthwhile!
Substack boilerplate text follows below.
This is a conversation space in the Substack app that I set up exclusively for my subscribers — kind of like a group chat or live hangout. I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Substack Chat is now available on both iOS and Android.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
