(2020-09-11) Alexander Update On My Situation

Scott Alexander: Update On My Situation. It’s been two and a half months since I deleted the blog, so I owe all of you an update

I haven’t heard anything from the New York Times one way or the other.

some people have taken it upon themselves to post my real name all over Twitter in order to harass me

At this point I think maintaining anonymity is a losing battle. So I am gradually reworking my life to be compatible with the sort of publicity that circumstances seem to be forcing on me.

I’m also talking to Substack about moving to their blogging platform.

I think I’d feel safer as part of a big group that specifically promises to defend their bloggers when needed. And also, I’d feel safer with a lot of diverse income streams, and Substack has made me an extremely generous offer.

As all the kids are saying these days, “thank you for your continuing support during these difficult times”.
