Solution: I could not like or comment on this post at first. When I tried to comment, Substack said it had to re-authenicate my account - I clicked the link, then I could comment.

PS I had similar issue on another writers Substack, so I don't think they are targeting you in particular. More likely it is general bugs in Substack or security concern.

I had that exact thing happen to me yesterday. I don't remember whose stack it was though. --- A couple of hours later I got another note from them that was just a button to click that was good for an hour and one time use. That was the "sign in." It worked. No other problems.....yet.

Putin is behind these glitches....Or is it climate change? Trump? Racism?

Maybe there’s just too much free speech & exchange of ideas going on here& elsewhere on this great platform

No worries. Your stack is growing so fast they just can't even. New capacity will be scaled in soon I trust.

I've had issues commenting for awhile, and just now, when I started to write this, I got a pop-up that said for security purposes, they needed to re-authenticate me with an email to sign in again.

I couldn't comment yesterday or most of today. So maybe it's resolved. Must be hitting a chord!!

Don't forget the recent glitch that's sending a lot of substack articles to our spam folders. That drives me nuts weeding through hundreds of spam emails a day to find you, sage, jimy, jessicaR etc. all hiding amongst the shite. 😝

I keep a direct sub stack app link on my main screen of my phone so I don't need to look at emails anymore to find Substack articles. Solved the issue of sub stick going to spam our junk mail.

I had to "subscribe" to like one of your posts, think it was yesterday. I panicked for a moment but as soon as I hit the sub button, it started working again.

I can understand in some, not this that you have to be paid to even comment.

I believe you are not the first one with concerns. I have read others are having issues too.

Same! It dropped all of my subscriptions and I had to go back and resubscribe to dozens of Substacks. Lesson learned. I’m backing up my writers for future disruptions!
