Today I’m announcing a brand new addition to my Substack publication: Moldova Matters subscriber chat.
This is a conversation space exclusively for subscribers—kind of like a group chat or live hangout. I’ll post questions and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.
Here’s how I basically envision this working. The chat is gonna be a bit like a subscriber forum - maybe like reddit for people interested in Moldova news and politics. It’s for paid subscribers only and anyone can start a thread. Threads should point to something you want to talk about - like “what the latest polls mean for the upcoming election,” or “In my travels around Moldova I’ve noticed all these beautiful Soviet era mosaics - what architectural oddities are you interested in?” Topics can be causal but should apply to other members of the Moldova Matters community.
I’ll post thoughts here and there but the chat is more for you all - a way to connect with other people with similar interests. I’m here for moderation to please keep it polite :)
How to get started
Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
