Substack promoted a Nazi blog again (www.usermag.co)

Substack sent a push alert encouraging users to subscribe to a Nazi newsletter that claimed Jewish people are a sickness and that we must eradicate minorities to build a “White homeland.”

This has been a problem for years: Substack has a Nazi problem - The Atlantic

Substack won’t commit to removing Nazi content - TechCrunch

I don’t think this can be ignored anymore. If you’re on Substack, please consider one of its many fine alternatives. Wired wrote about a few last year.

Plus, it’s quite easy to move a newsletter these days.

Can't criticize unless an alternative is provided tho, can you?

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 62 points 1 week ago

You absolutely can and should regardless.

I almost fully agree Idk about 'should' just out of paranoia that I can imagine a case where criticizing without sufficient contrast or a consistent-enough background of otherness, could potentially have unintended consequences or surprisingly negative overall moral impacts Or maybe just paranoid idek

Ghost, tumblr, WordPress, any of the self hosted SSGs out there.

Lol, I can absolutely call a website (or argument) awful or absolutely moronic without providing an alternative. Especially when we're talking about Nazi supporters (which substack objectively is and has been for years).

As a wise man once said, I don't need to be a pilot to know a helicopter doesn't belong in a tree.

Fucking watch me.

Nazis bad. <- note the period that makes that a full sentence.

Don’t use substack. Or Twitter.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but couldn't you just use like... Fucking SquareSpace or some shit, and just make a blog on your own site?

Lol what? Are you saying Substack is the only blogging platform that exists?
