Could you please explain the reasoning behind not also providing an email/password login option that my password manager would just save.

It is so annoying to have to take all the steps via the email code.

Especially when it asks for a password and it takes 1/2 hour to get an email

I have spent an hour arguing with a chatbot. I need to speak to a human. They promise to connect me and then tell me that it will be weeks if ever for me to hear back. In the meantime, they don’t

recognise my name or email even though I have been here over a year.

Substack is now as convoluted and AI-run as Facebook

Ronda Scott-Marak's avatar

I still have heard nothing. I am unable to log in to the desktop app, so I am unable to edit or delete my posts.

On the other hand, I daily receive a plethora of fake subscribers using newsmaker identities, and dozens of men with the same face, and different fake names, who only follow and like women and proceed to try to get intimate. Tell me, how is this any different from Facebook, where the corporate policy is to send bots out as people and refuse to remove scammers posing as celebrities popping in and “liking” comments.

I'm regularly completely confused by my various substack subscriptions and why i'm constantly not logged in when following links from them, and lack of cohesive account session management across different creators. I'm getting 'subscribe' buttons on a stream i'm already subscribed to right now, while i'm actively logged in on another tab and have refreshed. Also, how is there EVER a subscribe option with no sign in option?

I had to change my email to a different email address which required a new handle. How do I sign-out on my iPad app, so I can sign-in back in with my new handle/email address?

Nathan Mandjes's avatar

Same here. I can’t log out on my iPad to use my current handle.

Same thing, when I go to email to receive the code to enter and ho back the page is gone and I am asked to subscribe again.

My email is: ttoommwood@gmail.com

Do you people ever actually try to USE the web pages that you put up? This does not work. Fix it.

I can’t sign in. Thus is doing my head in.

It only brings me to my stuff in the app. On web, signed in it claims I have no activity. Nobody at helpdesk responds to my messages. I think it might be time to stop publishing since they do not respect us.

Why did they get rid of editing and deleting in the app?

David Glickman's avatar

I’m attempting to login to my newly created account from my iPhone. Keep getting lost — where is the log-in or sign-in when I open the app on my phone? Thank you 🙏 I’m a social media virgin luddite
