It's plausible that Russell and I are the only two people left on Typepad.
At the end of September Typepad will close down and all this blogging will vanish. Maybe we should just smile because it happened but I'd like to keep on blogging and so would Russell. He thinks Ghost and he's usually right and he will definitely have done more research than me.
But if you're part of the RSS massive, once you've finished laughing, please get in touch with thoughts, prayers and offers of help. I lost 20 years of my life to this BS.
There are a couple of places out there that are aiming for longevity in the blogging platform:
Bear (https://bearblog.dev/) — the person who runs it wrote about how not shutting it down is a core value (along with no ads and not selling) he created it (https://herman.bearblog.dev/manifesto/)
Posthaven (https://posthaven.com/) — after 12 months they will keep your blog around, read only, forever.
If you need a bit of help, I'm happy to!
