Bit of a side note, but nobody should use Substack for anything.

For those out of the loop, Substack has been overlooking Nazis on their platform for a few years, and recently pushed a notification to all subscribers to check out a blog with a Nazi swastika.

Don't use the most used platform for blogging reach in 2025 because .0000001% of users are people you hate?

Sounds silly. Don't use wordpress because a store I don't like uses it? I hate to tell you this but friend and foe are using Google search.. time to move on.

What does it tell about you when you dismiss concern about Nazis "as people you hate"?

WordPress isn't a platform.

Also, downvoted for being a platform shill.

Wordpress is a hosting platform.

When you get more upvotes than downvotes you might be on to something

The difference is the Substack owners have actively recommended Nazi substacks, and ignored calls to deplatform Nazi content.

They're not a common carrier like the phone company, and could kick off the nazis at any moment if they wanted to.

If they kicked off Nazis wouldn't that make them Nazis. Isn't that exactly what they would do.
