Yeah sorry - edited OP and added archive link, so no one needs to hit substack servers.
Pardon my ignorance but I’m OOTL- why is substack a bad thing? ( I didn’t know of its existence before this post)
They recently refused to remove pro-Nazi content from their site, claiming that doing so doesn’t make the problem go away so therefore there’s no point in trying.
For me, it’s the refusal to demontize them that’s particularly bad. I can understand free speech absolutists (in theory anyways, in practice you’ll find that they VERY rarely actually are and will happily censor people they disagree with like LGBTQIA+ or sex work content), but that doesn’t mean you need to actively be funding them!
This is a really good point. I’m sure they’re using a payment provider, so it might be worth it to go to them directly in the same way people have gone to advertisers to get Fox News hosts fired. The argument could be made that they’re funding domestic terrorism by white nationalists. The payment provider might be much less willing to take on that risk in the name of “free speech”.
Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content
Quite a few organizations and lots of individuals are now starting to migratev away from it and if any of the money made by visiting goes to Nazis, many of us would prefer to avoid the place when possible.
Nice, thanks
