@Boss @taylorlorenz @ErikUden
Substack is a platform I personally do neither recommend nor support.
See https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/11/substack-extremism-nazi-white-supremacy-newsletters/676156/
@leyrer @Boss @ErikUden I found this ultimately not very compelling. A handful of problematic newsletters, most of whom never published, with a collective 27 followers between them is not any sort of widespread issue compared to other platforms. Also Ghost’s biggest publisher is a far right, many would say Neo nazi, blog (which was even promoted on their website).
@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social Yeah, I don't get the Substack “hate” either beyond the general criticism of being a centralized (which has the benefit of actually paying independent writers, though). The only people I follow on Substack are you, Michael Moore, and a few other I'd call progressives. So, keep using the platform as long as it suits you ^ ^
@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social @Boss@troet.cafe @ErikUden@mastodon.de I understand that the USA has a different understand if "free speech" than eg. Austria, where I come from. We have laws against Nazi logos and Nazi speech for historical reasons (look up WW2).
Furthermore, as a member of the CCC, I fully agree with the club's stance against right-extremist ideology.
