Communication by phone, email, and even substack seems a little wonky these days. Read the comments in this post for more details: Plus, during occasional down times, we've realized just how important it’s been to communicate with each other — temporarily left wondering is the disconnect on substack permanent?
This may not be feasible for everyone, but building your own private online community is an option some may want to explore.

And absolutely near criminal negligence not to do so.
Just like how I remind people that back up short range wireless comms are absolutely indispensable when nothing else is working, a pair or more of ICOM or Motorola handsets can be totally lifesaving and literally can be had for a fraction of that hood ornament on your German made car.
Hello. I work on the data team at Substack. We have a bug related to that table, trying to fix it ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience. There's no malicious intent, people just sometimes make mistakes, our employees included.

Alright, it should be fixed now. For the people who are wondering what happened - we were making updates to our data pipelines to save costs, accidentally typed 'hour' where we should have typed 'day', and as a result, this particular table showed numbers for only one hour for the last day or two. We introduced the bug last night, and it's already fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
