Now that Medium has fully enshittified, and Substack is well on its way, where can I publish for free with good discoverability and no paywall? I've considered starting my own blog site using a static site generator, but I figured I'd get people's thoughts prior to doing that. Thanks!

You can host your blog on GitHub pages, some technical know-how required. But it's free of charge, and you have complete control over what's hosted, so you can host a plain HTML page if that's what you want.

There are quite a few static site generators which you can use. Jekyll and Hugo are the most popular, and have quite a few themes to pick from.
