    #Substack openly platforms—and profits from—#Nazis. And not just nudge-nudge-wink-wink types of Nazis, but literal black-swastika “NatSoc” Nazis. And they recommend Nazi writers.

    If you are still on Substack either as a reader or publisher, please seriously consider leaving the platform. It’s a Nazi bar. You don’t want to give them your money or your attention. I hear ghost dot org is a great, Nazi-free alternative.

        @drahardja @jwz this has been a thing for a long time.

        The pattern is that someone notices, people complain loudly, protest peters out, more anti-nazi or just otherwise decent people hold their noses and start blogs there anyway, expect subscribers to pay the tithe while not acknowledging the conflict at all, wash rinse repeat.

        It’s almost like protesting without naming names is ineffective, and rationalization is complicity.

        One doesn’t fight nazis by subsidizing nazis, and bu choosing to produce or consume on the platform, that is effectively what one does.

          Also like literally half of the accounts they recommend following if you register an interest in social issues are TERFs (and proud of it).
          It's ridiculous the extent to which the platform actively promotes bigots

            @drahardja

            This is quite stance:

            "We don't like Nazis either, but they're not going away. So we might as well make money off them."
            – Substack founder Hamish McKenzie

            Paraphrasing slightly. But barely.
