Glenn FleishmanPeople keep making new Substack newsletters. I keep pointing out politely that the founders are terrible enablers of transphobes, hate speech, vaccine denial, and more. They reap their reward from fear, hate, and disinformation.
It's a technically and economically great platform and a terrible moral choice to have to make.
John Gruber@glennf Do you feel the same way about WordPress? I feel like Substack is really just a CMS, not a publisher.
Waldo Jaquith@gruber @glennf Substack *pays* the transphobes et al to publish on their service, giving some of them fat advance checks. That's the difference. https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/18/substack-backlash/ https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/11/business/media/substack-newsletter-competition.html
