I've been writing on a Pika blog for a while now: it's simple and good — I've owned my own website since the early '00s, in the beginning I took care of everything — meaning the setup and coding part — with the earlier version of WordPress which became increasingly bloated over time.
Now I just want to write both 1) without thinking about what's underneath (in terms of tech stuff I need to put my hands on) but also 2) thinking about what's underneath (in terms of being mindful of the principles guiding the platform that I'm using).
And this latest aspect has become increasingly troublesome, as most platforms are becoming rotten to the core – both Substack and WordPress, for different reasons, are platform that I either abandoned or plan to abandon soon.
Pika. It looks like it has potential. My Substack blog is really for myself and my family, so longevity of the platform is important to me. On the other hand, it seems the politics has suddenly surged into Substack, changing the whole feel of it.
thanks for the shoutout!

Pika is good (or Good Enough - ha!).
