This is the 3rd or 4th piece on Substack that I’ve read that has mentioned Are.na. As someone who loves to explore/learn about many different things, I think I’m gonna check out this platform and start building my digital garden. Thanks for this.

Are.na has been my favorite corner of the internet for learning and curation for a while now. Loved reading your thoughts on it and hope it stays a safe place for intelligence and ideas!

Love this! I’ve used Are.na for four years to collect archives of understudied Black writers and recently collected all of Assata Shakur’s poems from her autobiography and website in one place on Are.na. I plan to continue using it as a community resource, too. https://are.na/ciarra-ross/assata-shakur-1947-2025-poetry-archive

Hi! Loved this piece and love Are.na of course. Would you mind explaining the part about DMs as shared private channels please?
