       Simple truth: When you say "nazis welcome," more of them show up. Sooner or later, that's all your platform is known for. And when you're allowing nazis to raise funding via your platform, with you joining in the profits, that reality will come even more quickly.https://substack.com/@hamish/note/c-45811343

       @patrickokeefe The true test is how the "FREE SPEECH!" platforms respond to #porn.  Substack bans it. So as #trans ppl pointed out years ago when Substack was revealed to be paying anti-trans bigots huge piles of $, McKenzie & other Substack apologists are full of shit. if you #boycott #birdchan for funding rape apologists & Nazis you should also shun #Substack. https://judedoyle.medium.com/substack-is-still-a-problem-dec84cb84188 https://buttondown.email/thehypothesis/archive/heres-why-substacks-scam-worked-so-wellhttps://medium.com/writers-blokke/this-terrible-incident-is-why-i-left-substack-for-ghost-49e17f0550c4#boycottSubstack #freespeech #transphobia #transrights

       @patrickokeefe "Substack has played a major role in normalizing open transphobia from media outlets" -https://xtramagazine.com/culture/substack-twitter-dark-times-249716 https://www.transgendermap.com/politics/media/substack/ "The anti-trans writers at Substack... collaborate... & boost each other’s work: Singal has a podcast w/ Herzog, & Herzog’s anti-trans essays are published by Sullivan & cited by Greenwald, etc... [Substack has] begun to look very much like a publication, & that publication has a clear stance against trans rights." - https://gen.medium.com/substack-is-not-a-neutral-platform-8fc5bdf8e5f2

       @patrickokeefe Sorry to miss out on the great Patti Smith's newsletter, and extremely bummed to miss out on @JuliusGoat 's brilliance there. Wish they would move to buttondown or ghost.io or one of the other non-evil alternatives. Edited to add: here's a list of some of the alternatives https://zirk.us/@cwwilkie/111620686748976498#Substack #boycottSubstack

       "Increasingly, Substack is tolerating & funding extreme trans-eliminationist rhetoric: They host Jesse Singal, a high-profile supporter of anti-trans conversion therapy who is also widely known to fixate on & stalk trans women in & around the media industry... Graham Lineham is a transphobic bigot so extreme & abhorrent that he’s been permanently banned from Twitter, Medium, & basically every platform but... reportedly considers Substack a major source of income."#boycottSubstack #transphobia
