Substack sent a push alert encouraging users to subscribe to a Nazi newsletter that claimed Jewish people are a sickness and that we must eradicate minorities to build a “White homeland.”
This has been a problem for years: Substack has a Nazi problem - The Atlantic
Substack won’t commit to removing Nazi content - TechCrunch
I don’t think this can be ignored anymore. If you’re on Substack, please consider one of its many fine alternatives. Wired wrote about a few last year.
Plus, it’s quite easy to move a newsletter these days.
Can’t criticize unless an alternative is provided tho, can you?
You absolutely can and should regardless.
I almost fully agree Idk about ‘should’ just out of paranoia that I can imagine a case where criticizing without sufficient contrast or a consistent-enough background of otherness, could potentially have unintended consequences or surprisingly negative overall moral impacts Or maybe just paranoid idek
Lol, I can absolutely call a website (or argument) awful or absolutely moronic without providing an alternative. Especially when we’re talking about Nazi supporters (which substack objectively is and has been for years).
As a wise man once said, I don’t need to be a pilot to know a helicopter doesn’t belong in a tree.
Ghost, tumblr, WordPress, any of the self hosted SSGs out there.
Fucking watch me.
Nazis bad. <- note the period that makes that a full sentence.
Don’t use substack. Or Twitter.
Maybe I’m mistaken, but couldn’t you just use like… Fucking SquareSpace or some shit, and just make a blog on your own site?
Lol what? Are you saying Substack is the only blogging platform that exists?
