The Future of Minidoshima

As readers may know, Substack is monetizing Nazis on their platform and I cannot justify writing my articles on the site right now. I have moved Minidoshima’s book review blog cousin, Kansoulations, to Cohost. However, I’m unsure what to do with the main newsletter aka the one you’re subscribed right now.

There are alternatives to Substack, but they don’t suit my purposes and are too costly or annoying to manage. I’m also not too interested in writing about game reviews at the moment, though this may change. I do think this newsletter is important and I want to keep it going if possible.

I don’t expect Substack to change tracks (and it’s already a too little, too late situation if it did), so I’m ready to change platforms whenever a new service is up. But who knows when this will happen.

I’m very sorry to everyone, especially those who have been with me since the beginning. I know that I will likely lose my current audience (300~ subscribers) with this move, but I’ve decided that writing a newsletter on Japanese media in a platform that monetizes Nazis and other unfun people is not worth it. Not only does it hurt my soul but I’m thinking of my own personal safety as someone who can be targeted by these heinous figures.

I recommend following me on Twitter and Cohost for future updates on the blog. Thank you, everyone, for reading my articles and I hope you will keep supporting me in my future ventures.
