Comment on Don't call it a Substack

Mellow12@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

Substack is, just as a reminder, a political project made by extremists with a goal of normalizing a radical, hateful agenda by co-opting well-intentioned creators’ work in service of cross-promoting attacks on the vulnerable.

Yeah. That’s not the truth of the matter. That’s someone disagreeing with some content they publish and deciding to cancel them. Medium does the same shit. You pay them. Write whatever drivel you want. They host and publish it. They’re making money. You get a platform. Substack is a business. Businesses exist to profit. There are plenty of credible publishers on Substack, but someone read something distasteful on the fringe, and got a hate boner and decided to label them “extremeists”. Same shit we see every day.
