Substack Notes is a hot mess.

I just blocked my first user there. He seemed genuinely deranged. His reply made no sense, with a timeline consisting of jumbled nonsense including a graphic asking “Was Hitler part Jewish?”

Here’s the really problematic part. Because I blocked this loon, I don’t have to see his ravings. But, unfortunately, you do. His comment still appears under my note, even though I don’t want that kind of interaction appearing under anything I have written.

@edbott Twitter got a lot of crap for a lot of things they do wrong, but they did put some thought into Community Notes and knew it had to be a fully moderated experience. Musk seems to have crushed that plan, while Substack should go back and look at how it was structured.
