  • Platformer Says Goodbye to Substack

    by

    After the recent updates from Platformer about the Substack Nazi problem I wasn’t convinced that they’d leave the platform. In fact Casey says he wasn’t emphatic enough about his distaste for how little Substack did in the face of criticism. In his words: I attempted to write a straightforward news story about all this, and…

  • That letter saying Substack should leave Nazis alone was started by Substack Founder Hamish Mackenzie

    by

    I thought I was done talking about Substack and Nazis, but nope. It seems the letter that asked Substack to prefer free speech over moderation was started by the Substack founder Hamish Mackenzie.

  • Substack Does The Bare Minimum it Figures It Can Get Away with to Stop its Nazi Problem

    by

    Since I first talked about the issue with Nazis on Substack there have been many words spent on the Substack Nazi issue, and while it seems that much has been done, Substack itself has done as little as possible. As of Jan 9th 2024 they’ve committed to removing 5 Nazi publications. None of them were…

  • Organizing my Thoughts Leaves Substack

    Kelly talks about the stress of leaving Substack because it affects her income. As mentioned, I have rehomed my Organizing My Thoughts. While the move was necessary, I am pretty stressed out about it. As a disabled writer and organizer, the income I get from my paid subscribers makes a difference in my life. It also…
