Europese subsidies voor vlees, niet voor vervangers
De Europese Unie besteedde vorig jaar ruim 52 miljoen euro aan de promotie van vlees en zuivel. De stichting Dier & Recht brengt dit elk jaar in kaart en berekende dat er vorig jaar 14 procent meer Europees geld naar deze subsidies ging dan in 2023.Martine Kamsma (NRC)
Er ging ook 70 miljoen naar plantaardige campagnes, maar alternatieven voor vlees en zuivel zijn hiervan uitgesloten.
„Deze subsidies zijn ronduit pervers”, zegt directeur Frederieke Schouten van Dier&Recht. „Europese burgers betalen via de belasting mee aan hun eigen misleiding.”

in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •p.s. People thinking the word "Nazi" must be some kind of hyperbole, it isn't.
These are actual Nazi blogs. They call themselves "National Socialists" (i.e. the same as Hitler's party). They have 1930s-style swastikas in a white circle on a red background as their artwork. They post racist lies and promote white supremacy.
There is no other word for them except Nazi.
Also, Substack's CEO himself used the word "Nazis" in 2023 when explaining he would not suspend or demonetise Nazis.

"Free open source software" means you are free to self-host it, free to modify it, free to distribute it etc. You don't have to use ghost.org to use Ghost.
FOSS doesn't mean you get free hosting, because someone somewhere has to pay for the servers, electricity etc.

Even if they feel compelled to be on Substack, at the very least it should encourage them to offer alternatives for those who don't feel comfortable with Substack?
And even if they do nothing now, if someone else later says the same thing too, they may act.

I'm not sure how you see it as the only option? There are many, many blogging platforms out there, especially if you're not monetised anyway.
About the base price, that's only if you're using Ghost's own hosting. You can host it yourself or have an indie hosting company host it. The software is free open source so it can be offered by any hosting company.

in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •As the time I posted that I saw it as the *only* free option (that I don't have to self host).
I have now discovered Beehiiv so that makes two, but even with that you're limited to under 2,500 subscribers to it may become a problem for me one day (unlike Substack).
Everyone else requires you to pay and my blog doesn't have an income stream.

The software that runs the blog is free, but you need a hosting company to host it.
Ghost offers its own hosting service (which costs money) and there are also independent hosting providers (which also cost money).
All blogs cost money to host, so if a blog service is "free" then it is probably going to be doing something bad either now or in the future.
