@johnonolan@mastodon.xyz @jvnknvlgl@mastodon.social hi!! Omg I have never seen your replies I am sorry, I would have definitely responded!! I would love to chat, and not trying to hate on ghost btw. As I understand Quilette is on Ghost and you guys don’t do content moderation. But I wasn’t trying to hate on anyone and I just think that a lot of these convos about publishing tools are derailed by what ppl read in headlines. I’m on taylor@usermag.co if u ever have a few min to chat I’d love to connect 🙏

@jvnknvlgl@mastodon.social they do! They have less moderation than Substack but it was never a viral headline. I’m not defending it or saying “well this platform is also bad so it’s ok for Substack to do xyz” just saying it’s a broader systemic issue with these email newsletter platforms and publishing tools that don’t want to get into the content moderation business

@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).

@jvnknvlgl@mastodon.social Ghost also accepts nazis, I realize they’re not part of the fediverse but I struggle to find a single publishing tool that doesn’t allow allow reprehensible people to publish.

Question for something I’m writing: would it be possible for Substack to make substack Notes (its twitter like feature within the Substack app) part of the fediverse?

I’m wondering if this is something that’s technically possible or not and I don’t know enough about how the fediverse operates to know if it would be feasible. #fediverse
