I haven't used substack, but I've never heard any negative discourse about it either. A lot of Nazis on there I guess?

Substack faced further criticism in November 2023 for allowing its platform to be used by white nationalists, Nazis, and antisemites.[61] In an open letter, more than 100 Substack creators threatened to leave the platform[62] and implored Substack's leadership to stop giving bigotry a platform.[63] In response, Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie said the company would continue to allow the publication of extremist views because attempting to censor them would make the problem worse.[11][64]

I don't know much about Substack, but there are some killer blogs there. For example Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's.

I'm curious too, is this about the owners or the writers?

The CEO did an interview on The Verge with Nilay Patel and refused to say that he would take Nazi content off the platform, taking an 'absolute free-speech, nothing is censored' approach.

The common sentiment is that refusing to take down Nazi content makes one complicit and supportive of Nazis.

But I have no idea how many nazis post on Substack.

No tolerance for intolerance is a principle which he seems to be whiffing on. Or maybe it's as simple as significantly more profit for him by turning a blind eye.
