Whether you agree with the politics or not, owning your content and publishing (in as much as one practically can) is always going to be better in the long run for both readers and writers.


>Marisa Kabas correctly asserts that Substack’s latest announcement reaffirms their status as a publication (and not a platform) and as a place that will publish disinformation and hate under the guise of “free speech”.

'As we wrote in the Substackers Against Nazis letter, “there’s a difference between a hands-off approach and putting your thumb on the scale.” And by championing Bari Weiss and her worldview, Substack is once again putting its thumb on the scale'.

This person's example of bad thought / fascism to censor is Bari Weiss?

Can you get more of a censoring bootlicker? Shame on Kottke and whoever he quotes.
