Lemme guess: you might think that everyone should just write their blogs on Substack, right?
The web thrives on diversity. More forges is good.
Furthermore, GitHub has been making moves that understandably worry some and so it’s great that there are some excellent alternatives.
- KingMob 1y agoBit of a side note, but nobody should use Substack for anything. For those out of the loop, Substack has been overlooking Nazis on their platform for a few years, and recently pushed a notification to all subscribers to check out a blog with a Nazi swastika. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/substacks-nazi-problem-wont-go-away-after-push-notification-apology/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/substacks-nazi-p... https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/11/substack-extremism-nazi-white-supremacy-newsletters/676156/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/11/substack-e...
- ipaddr 1y agoDon't use the most used platform for blogging reach in 2025 because .0000001% of users are people you hate? Sounds silly. Don't use wordpress because a store I don't like uses it? I hate to tell you this but friend and foe are using Google search.. time to move on.
- timeon 1y agoWhat does it tell about you when you dismiss concern about Nazis "as people you hate"? > Don't use wordpress because a store I don't like uses it? Store I do not like have not murdered half of my family.
- ipaddr 1y agoMy family was killed by Vikings.. who should I boycott?
- BlueTemplar 1y agoWordPress isn't a platform. Also, downvoted for being a platform shill.
- ipaddr 1y agoWordpress is a hosting platform. When you get more upvotes than downvotes you might be on to something
- KingMob 1y agoThe difference is the Substack owners have actively recommended Nazi substacks, and ignored calls to deplatform Nazi content. They're not a common carrier like the phone company, and could kick off the nazis at any moment if they wanted to.
