We don't like Substack because of all the nazis it is willing to host.

We don't like Grok because Elon Musk is also a nazi.

I was going to dig up some links, but I see that Mathew has provided numerous alternative citations below.

So anyone who’s done that has actually chosen to give substack their own real money and not just not a cut of their subscribers’ money. I understand there’s a cdn you can block to get them all, because there are themes that are remarkably similar between substack, ghost and beehiiv.

Unfortunately, that seems to have been removed from a lot of their URLs now. After getting fooled into opening a bunch of 'stealth' links where you can't tell until you scroll all the way to the bottom, I've now added a filter for "/p/" and that seems to be catching the rest (so far). Fuck shitstack! 🤬

The moment one's vote is tied to a single issue, the rest of society can go pound sand about every other right and value you're willing to sacrifice for your issue.

And it's also that your single-interest incentivizes others to be as awful and exploitative as they can be, provided they convince you they will address your single issue.n You aren't just complicit, you're an accelerant.

As it is for racism, so it is for clicks.
