I just can't help but to appreciate the irony of complaining about censorship on one major tech platform while publishing on another major tech platform. It seems Substack is much looser on censorship than other social media, but at the end of the day, anyone can be "deplatformed" from any managed service / platform for many reasons at any time, and they may never even find out why.
Why not run your own (e.g., Ghost) instance and mitigate that risk to protect your content and business upfront?
> I received no inquiry or notice from YouTube. I vanished. In totalitarian systems you exist, then you don’t. I suppose this was done in the name of censoring Russian propaganda, although I have a hard time seeing how a detailed discussion of “Ulysses” or the biographies of Susan Sontag and J. Robert Oppenheimer had any connection in the eyes of the most obtuse censors in Silicon Valley with Vladimir Putin.
