No thanks, I don't want to monetize, nor support its owners.

Static site generator then host it on a vape

So what would be your recommendation instead?

I've only recently even heard of substack as some sort of social media platform. I'm almost afraid to ask, but what's wrong with its owners?

Traditional way is to just use a WordPress account, and then move onto a paid hosting service of you decide you like keeping up with your blog. No point in paying for something you don't use. Their ceo was a dick with open source stuff, but the website itself is still solid enough to be used to check if its a hobby you want to actually keep up with.

If you want to spend just as much time managing the blog as you do actually sharing things, a raspberry pi, Hugo, nginx, and a lot of time are also an option.

I personally use Porkbun for the .com and hostinger for the backend, and it's been great for the past couple years to host my own wordpress setup.

But actually, I think that makes me oldschool. The new kids are using neocities.
