How differently different. 💀

We may need a better metaphor than Nazi bar. It is a good start, but a bar does not give you huge amounts of money for coming into the bar a lot. What metaphor can encompass having a "top History writers" leaderboard with a Holocaust denier at the top who they write out huge checks to?

And yet, so many “reputable” journalists and writers are on substack as if it’s not a big deal to hang out in the Nazi bar and profit from it.

@paulscheer.com this is the sort of stuff I’ve been telling you about. Please be a better dude, I like liking you. Find an alternative to substack. (Or is this who you are and it was me who was wrong in my thoughts of you?)

The courtier class is so gross.

The Bar Substack has refused to kick out the Nazis since the beginning.

had to look it up... and yeah, seems to me that media does the legwork of fascism.

Straight from the horses mouth.

Paradox of Intolerance is the only way, none of this "give nazis a space or actual money" bull

To the contrary, gotta nip it in the bud, otherwise it becomes a Nazi platform.

It’s really gross. Just really really gross.

Sadly for some well-meaning and quite good writers who joined the platform without knowledge of their "radical free speech" stance,
Substack will never get a penny of my money

seanhoyer.bsky.social•20 hours ago

To test their commitment to free speech, ask how they handle NSFW content, sex workers, drug-related content, etc. SStack paid for hate speech but bans sex workers. https://bsky.app/profile/seanhoyer.bsky.social/post/3lf7jvrkhys2y

It's a good barometer for how intractable this problem is. The bulk of the voting populace either don't even realize this problem exists or don't think it is a problem.

mav.wtf•21 hours ago

There's probably more people who are unmoved by the problem than there are people who understand the problem (and that includes the bad guys, who *clearly* understand the problem.)

It’s driving me nuts that many people writing about the fascism and white supremacists are…POSTING IT ON SUBSTACK! I refuse to visit substack. Write somewhere else!
