"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

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

(The embarrassed stare/silence around 00:57 is probably one of the most awkward moments on the Internet)

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.

Something happened to me recently, and I don't mean to be dramatic, but it's truly a shameful thing.
Two days ago, I joined the writing platform #substack & even though @aral & @fabio told me it wasn't a good platform for me, being Palestinian, I decided to interact on it and post my poems there.
I was subjected to awful abuse in all verbal forms by Zionists there.
But I preferred to remain silent instead of arguing with any fools.
Today, the platform’s banned me!

If you’re still on Substack, you’re in a Nazi bar. You know who visits Nazi bars? Nazis.
