Really odd to see Substack celebrating Musk for "advancing freedom of speech on X." When we reported that X was secretly and systematically throttling traffic to Substack, the co-founders told us it was an "unreliable" platform with "hostile" policies https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/15/twitter-x-links-delayed/

Doesn't it sound like they made a deal, & Substack--like many other media--has agreed to act as a PR firm for the Musk/Vance/Trump administration in return for favorable treatment?

Not anymore. I wont subscribe/support a platform that defends hate speech in the same fashion as the ACLU.
Drop all X, Meta platforms.
Stop feeding the monsters.
Just saw this!
Everybody who gives a hoot about freedom needs to stop legitimizing the Nazi platform by finding a different service or setting up their own websites like the old days.

he disagrees with...
uh, so, could you tell me
your definition of balance?
does it involve balloon animals?
or miming in total darkness?
No, people attacked him for being a fuckup who alternately got a ton wrong and also cut out key information. 🙄
