Ken White (aka npub15qwuf8njm934yju6pcxns9g9gjsmjlu94dkt3w54wpjjgz9zmjds3n3p2z (npub15qw…3p2z)) has a terrific essay on the pure hypocrisy of Substack's managers.
It comes down, in key ways, to this: They are choosing to publish Nazis while not allowing other kinds of (legal if repugnant in some cases) speech. They have a right to decide these things, as they should. It's their choices that are disgusting.
I hope Ken leaves for a service that is less hypocritical and mercenary -- and I promise to subscribe to his paid edition if he does.
