Bit 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.

- 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.

- 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.
