Substack says it will remove Nazi publications from the platform

Had to look up what substack was. Not sure if that speaks more of it’s irrelevance, my ignorance or if it’s a 50/50 split.

I never heard of these clowns either. You're not alone.

I heard of substack for the first time when they made the statement that they were absolutely going to allow Nazis. Now that they said they were not going to allow Nazis I went ahead and looked at the front page. It seems to be the same collection of conspiracy theory and alt right loonies that have been chased off of every other social platform

I’m going to guess it’s like Odyssey and there’s some decent content makers deeper in the weeds. But there doesn’t seem to be anybody worthwhile on the front page

I know/knew next to nothing about substack 6 months ago.

Now I only associate them as the other platform that allows Nazis on it.

Maybe they’re trying to get Elon to buy them.

Neat.

Edit: If you disagree with banning nazis, kindly go fuck yourself. Thanks!

I can’t believe we’re praising companies for not being evil dickheads now

Yeah this deserves no praise. This falls squarely under “Fuck around, find out” since it wasn’t even weeks ago that they said they wouldn’t remove Nazis from the platform.

They’re still angling for a way to allow hate speech on their platform, they’re just hiding behind “taking down content that incites violence” as if that in itself isn’t bare fucking minimum expectation to begin with.

I’m never coming back. And I was paying for multiple publications. Fuck off you Nazis.
