#Substack openly platforms—and profits from—#Nazis. And not just nudge-nudge-wink-wink types of Nazis, but literal black-swastika “NatSoc” Nazis. And they recommend Nazi writers.
If you are still on Substack either as a reader or publisher, please seriously consider leaving the platform. It’s a Nazi bar. You don’t want to give them your money or your attention. I hear ghost dot org is a great, Nazi-free alternative.

@drahardja Ghost is awesome and part of the Fediverse (so are WriteFreely and MicroBlog)

@drahardja @jwz this has been a thing for a long time.
The pattern is that someone notices, people complain loudly, protest peters out, more anti-nazi or just otherwise decent people hold their noses and start blogs there anyway, expect subscribers to pay the tithe while not acknowledging the conflict at all, wash rinse repeat.
It’s almost like protesting without naming names is ineffective, and rationalization is complicity.
One doesn’t fight nazis by subsidizing nazis, and bu choosing to produce or consume on the platform, that is effectively what one does.

This is the quite stance:
"We don't like Nazis either, but they're not going away. So we might as well make money off them."
– Substack founder Hamish McKenzieParaphrasing slightly. But barely.

@drahardja Just a moment ago I posted a question here on Mastodon asking whether sites - such as Substack, that take a piece of the revenue from content posted by others - are protected by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996?
It seems that in such cases (and this also includes youtube) that the premises underlying immunity in Section 230 are not met, that the website is not a mere conduit, but is, rather, an active partner in the content and thus ought to share liability with the creator.
I'm not a Section 230 expert and would be interested to hear an expert's point of view on this.

@karlauerbach @drahardja whoever told you that is mistaken

Ghost charges $15 USD monthly (minimum) so it isn't for people who can't spare $180 per year. It's free to use if you run it on your own server.
If you have a Wordpress blog you can use a plugin called "Activitypub for Wordpress" to integrate it with the fediverse. It's had some good recent updates and looks pretty functional. Haven't tried it, though.

@karlauerbach @drahardja I mean, who tf knows with the current court and their absolute contempt for precedent, but imo as someone who has had to teach media law, that would really be a stretch. It should take more than getting paid for providing publishing tools, Substack would have to exercise editorial control. You could argue their bad behavior is actually evidence they don’t.
