Maybe they have to clear out heterodox opinions to make way for the blue check mark people to migrate over.

I feel like it's going to remain a mystery. Apparently this has happened with other accounts. It seems Substack's approach is to ignore the situation.

It’s crazy that happened to you and that there’s no explanation given. I’d heard others talk about it before. Wow!

I don’t subscribe to many because I don’t like to set an expectation to read that I can’t always fulfil. But I will drop by and read you (like now) from time to time, and follow. Lots of luck to you Amber. Xx

Thanks Julie! I saw it happen to other people and didn't think anything of it. Very wild, no resolution.

So many issues on this platform. Substack split my account when I tried to log in (while I was actually already logged in but they were showing that I wasn't). So then all of my Notes went to this new account and the subscribers stayed put. I ended up losing all of my Notes when I deleted the new account. No help from Substack whatsoever.

Wow.

This makes no sense. We are on a beta app and they are selling it as ready to go to get big names.

Technology sucks! And the worst part is the customer service is most likely AI and all you want or need is to talk to a real person to get things fixed. Sorry to hear about your health issues. Hope things get better for you soon.

I'm 100% Pro-Amber! Have seen most of your work on Notes rather than a page. Looking forward to being a Droll Queen follower. If you feel the urge please check out my Substack page called Ex Animo. Historical trivia, no politics. Good luck.

Wait, did you ever get all of your posts back?

Amber Trimble's avatar

Hahaha I did and all my followers 2,000 disappeared. No one ever gave me an explanation. I can’t even find my follower count now so who knows what’s going on 😆

Charlotte Stephens's avatar

How awful! Exporting my list now... 😆

At least we can be relatively confident that SubStack travails and Lyme disease were independently unpleasant events and not related. Wishing you a speedy recovery from both!

Chris Marcon's avatar

That sounds like Bells Palsy , or possibly Guillene Barre

What?! I wish they could help me remove the inactive one.

You'll recover in no time.

You lost also all your Substacks??

Amber Trimble's avatar

I lost all my subscribers bc I had to start a new newsletter bc my old one with 1,200 subs is now inaccessible except by direct link. I lost 800 followers. Many reached out like wtf, I got removed?! Very weird. Still no response from Substack. Oh and I can't upload my sub list from my previous defucnt newsletter.

Glad you keep fighting on!

Glad to have you back k at full strength, Amber! One person I like to read here on Substack. You're real!

Amber Trimble's avatar

Thank you Tom! I really appreciate that 😊

Jordan Call's avatar

Did you ever figure out what happened?? Or any theories at least?

Amber Trimble's avatar

Crickets. My theory is that some syncing issue happened. I think it can't be fixed so I was ignored.

Exactly. You would be a fool to not consider Elon and doge role in internet glitches by getting everyone's data. And also the Amazon shutdown and another recently not in the news. I believe they are resetting everything after infecting with their algorithm and eyes everywhere programs. Plus new ai so fast that billions of bots are nothing for them to deploy.
