Substack promoted a literal nazi propaganda pub with push notifications to random people.

Their response? Not “sorry we host Nazis.” It was “sorry for the technology glitch.”

WHAT‽ 🤬

To all writers and journalists who use Substack. Im unsubscribing from your feeds and email lists. Move to a new platform.

I’m calling for a boycott. Fuck Substack forever.

Substack said that the alert was issued by mistake. “We discovered an error that caused some people to receive push notifications they should never have received,” a spokesperson told User Mag. “In some cases, these notifications were extremely offensive or disturbing. This was a serious error, and we apologize for the distress it caused. We have taken the relevant system offline, diagnosed the issue, and are making changes to ensure it doesn't happen again.”
