Substack is a very useful platform. Both in that you get all the email addresses of your subscriber base, so they don't lock you in there, and the monetization they have set up.

The fediverse should target it to replicate much or all of its functionality. It is MORE than a mere blog. It has a big ecosystem one blog can't replicate alone. The payment system would be particularly difficult to copy well.
