I promise you this was meant to be a softball question.

There’s only so much context you can put in a TikTok clip, but I really encourage you to listen to the entire 60-minute conversation with Substack CEO Chris Best that includes this exchange— we went pretty deep on Substack’s business, Twitter vs Substack, and, of course, what kind of moderation expectations people should have for Substack Notes, which looks a lot like a social network.

Is Substack Notes a ‘Twitter clone’? We asked CEO Chris Best

Substack enters new territory with the launch of Substack Notes. Can it handle content moderation, running a consumer product, and beefing with Elon Musk and Twitter?

@nilay_patel hey Nilay, I’ll say what he would not: it’s absolutely NOT okay to advocate for the elimination of brown people from the country.

Wow. That was…really easy. Astoundingly easy. I didn’t need to be prompted to say the right thing, much less warned I was making a huge mistake.

Huh.
