Fuck substack. Another attempt to paywall the internet while hosting nazi shit. Id hope all the people that fled reddit for lemmy wouldnt sign up for new reddit because they pretend to play nice in the beginning like…reddit.
It’s not just nazis on substack. There were plenty of other people who joined it thanks to the willy-nilly censorship that was happening on the large platforms in the past few years. The problem is that it’s hard to avoid some parasitic free-riders like the nazis if you want to have a genuine free speech platform, which none of the major platforms are any longer.
Personally I think it’s a good trend that more people are blogging and not all of the money is getting funneled away from creators to platforms owned by billionaire sociopaths like Musk and Zuck.
Ima say anything behind a paywall is not a free speech platform

Interesting essay but it makes a lot of presuppositions about human nature from a very anglo-centric perspective steeped in capitalist realism.
This sort of doomerism is terribly counterproductive and ironically idealistic.
A better world is possible.
