You know, I sometimes feel like I'm being kind of a bitch by refusing to subscribe to Substack newsletters, refusing to share Substack links. But this is why. Substack is a right-wing social media platform that uses its token left-wing writers and apolitical newsletters as cover. I don't want any part of that.

@misty The bigger problem IMO is, Substack's non-apology reads (emphasis mine) "We discovered an error that caused some people to receive push notifications they should never have received. 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."

What are these push notifications (that recommend Nazi newspapers) intended for, then? So Substack is fine with recommending Nazi newspapers, it onlt becomes a problem because this Nazi newspaper is recommended to non-Nazi users?
