I deleted it because the main value in starting another site was that it could be faintly anonymous; I’m not worried about hiding as much as I don’t like putting my name near the front of anything I write.
I dislike cults of personality, and I recoil at the idea that I could be leveraging who I am, as opposed to what I create. I tried to remove my name from my publication, but it still was attached, and that meant substack was an inappropriate medium for me.
Such is life.
