It's interesting how we managed to keep the Nazis at bay by offering everyone a quality source like the Financial Times free to read online. The blogosphere also was free to read for everyone with plenty of left-wing activist content.

Now even left-wing activist content has been paywalled behind Nazistack, and people wonder why we're losing the information war. Meanwhile, the Nazis are largely giving out their content for free.

If you're an #Author, who, like my wife, is searching for an #Amazon alternative to #SelfPublish your work, here's what she's found:

https://draft2digital.com/
Is a self-publishing platform that let's you choose which marketplaces you sell to. Soon this will include bookshop.org, which is my personal favorite.

https://ficstack.com/
Organizes #SubStack posts to aid in author discovery. I think you can set up monetization options on your associated substack.

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
