I wondered what your thoughts were about Substack. Mine are similar. If I posted consistent content, I think I would feel a lot worse. But I’m not sure what other platform would support my “I write when I feel like it for 12 of my friends and obviously cannot monetize that” habit.
An update - it looks like Substack will be banning Nazi accounts after all! Collective action gets the job done. It's a start, and I'll take it.
However, while this is a good first step, they are not changing their absolute bare minimum content moderation policy, once again playing semantic games by saying that Nazism is itself an act of violence, so that violates their standards. If only writers would take collective action about transphobia--I'm sure we could make an argument that violence against transgender folks is connected to anti-trans rhetoric.
