There is a Fediverse alternative to #Substack called #Ghost.

Ghost is now compatible with the Fediverse. It's not just a feed, Ghost-powered sites can take part in discussions with Mastodon etc accounts, the follows work in both directions etc.

There's a guide to using Ghost-powered sites on the Fediverse here:

I keep BEGGING to people who have good articles and insight to offer, but elect to publish them at the nazi bar of #substack : please, please, publish somewhere else.

Every click to substack provides financial support and a platform for individuals who own that nazi bar and who are directly funding the erosion of democracy.

I've seen an uptick in links to Substack lately, so here's yet another reminder:

Substack is a transphobic, pro-Nazi platform. Many of will not follow links to it. We are not giving that place any eyeballs or clicks.

Publishing there, or linking to it, helps the Nazi site owners. Please don't do it.

"Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost

A lot of us know by now that Substack has a Nazi problem. It not only profits from fascist voices, it actively promotes their work and recruits them. And it's funded by Silicon Valley anti-democracy billionaires like Marc Andreesen — the same type of people who are, right now, raiding the US government to basically cut funding for social services and scientific research, and to steal money for themselves.

Still, a lot of talented writers — including some that I subscribe to — publish on Substack. But others have moved to Ghost, an open source and non-shitty-tech-bro newsletter service. These include Casey Newton's publication Platformer, Molly White's newsletter Citation Needed, and plenty of others. From the beginning, 404 Media decided to publish on Ghost because, as I understand it, Substack sucks."

D-Day. As in d day I officially cancelled all paid subscriptions to authors I like and follow BUT sadly publish only on Substack.

THIS IS THE PART WHERE I SHARE THE IMPORTANT TO KNOW STUFF. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

CAN’T DO THIS
I also attempted to make sure my account listing my original email to be a subscriber in Substack was removed or changed to a different one that’s an alias email account. CAN’T DO THIS in Substack.

After I cancel each subscription I had paid for I tried to remove my credit card. CAN’T DO THIS in Substack.

Tried to delete any posts I had made in a lame personal Substack. CAN’T DO THIS in Substack. Tried to delete a few photos I shared. CAN’T DO THIS in Substack.

Um. How interesting these discoveries are. Even if I completely delete my account, Substack retains my email, my posts, my comments on any article published on Substack and my photos. I wonder why this would be. #Substack #SubstackNazis

Hey #substack.

Substack.

I am talking to you.

Heads up, I am never, ever going to do something I don't want to do.

You need to find different people.

The growing concentration of content on the #substack platform is alarming.

@joynewacc @aral to me #Substack became worth as much as 4chan one second after I saw this interview to its CEO https://www.tiktok.com/@decoderpod/video/7221602731998498094?lang=en

I’m very very sorry that you got burned in the Nazi bar. But remember that there’s a reason why it’s the Nazi bar, and why minorities of any kind usually avoid it.

And it’s because there are people like Chris Best in charge that, when asked “I’m a brown person, would you moderate racial insults and threats against me?“ answer with the worst white-privileged mental contorsions about freedom of speech and self-moderation.

Remember that you’ll always have a safe home here and on my WriteFreely instance ❤️ you’ve already been displaced so many times, at least in your digital life you deserve a place you can call home without being booted.
