I also use Patreon as well. I apologize. I forgot this time to add alt text to the image. I do all of this for free, every other newsletter site cost money. So if you can find one that will set everything up for me for free and process it for free I would love to hear about it.

Bunch of options down thread in the post I shared. It's up to you where you choose to set yourself up. If that means standing beside Nazis because doing anything else isn't worth it to you then that's the choice. People have been talking about this for years now.

💯

The nazi bar newsletter site doen't even get passing traffic from me, let alone a subscription because I don't actually like funding nazi bars, even indirectly.

This seems unwise as the reach at anywhere else would be substantially worse, and the amount of Nazis on substack is near nonexistent

arthistories.bsky.social•65 days ago

it is more the financial side of Substack: Andreessen Horowitz is one of the big investors. This should shed massive doubt on the future intentions of Substack. Investors like Horowitz want money, no matter how. That is the big problem. They are not sweating over moral issues.

trystero55.bsky.social•65 days ago

See this is a better argument at least than these non-existant Nazis are theoretically capable of sharing the same park as you

arthistories.bsky.social•64 days ago

Andreesen Horowitz if founded by right-wing Trump-supporters who are embracing the dismantling of any kind of regulation. And then there is this: https://gizmodo.com/andreessen-horowitz-defends-hiring-subway-vigilante-who-became-right-wing-hero-2000560333

You clearly don't know what is going on and that's ok but it's ok to not comment until you do.

I think he can comment whenever he wants MO

Thank you!!! I’m so sick of everyone running to that Nazi supporting platform then acting like they can’t figure out how to go to another site that isn’t run by a Nazi lover.

@zdroberts.bsky.social has fought for years against extremism, including his well known photos of the Nazees at Charlottesville. It's worth a look at his free portfolios. Asking indie journos to switch is tough. I do agree it'd be helpful to use alt text though. Bsky makes it easy to remember.

zdroberts.bsky.social•65 days ago

Yeah I apologize I forgot on this image but I do usually to alt text. As a person who is a photographer this means double the work as most people on this site. I am working to be better.

There's a Bluesky setting that helps with this:

Settings > Accessibility > Alt text > Require alt text before posting

tsal.outof.coffee•65 days ago

Wait, you’ll respond to the alt text but not the alt right ownership of substack?

mxfee.bsky.social•65 days ago

It's much appreciated
