Jeff Atwoodpeople still on substack are like "(fetches fainting couch) but mah clicks! my metrics!" You know what, fuck your clicks, fuck your metrics, and FUCK YOU. Grow a backbone, you absolute cowards. I do not, and will not, give any quarter to fundamental assaults on human dignity and civil rights.
read the truth, people. Fuck complicity. And most of all, fuck the so-called "leadership" at substack. I lose a little bit more respect for anyone still on that platform, month after month. Look. Take my advice and do as you please.

I mean I agree with your premise, but using a grok screenshot or whatever to prove your point is about on par with quoting the bible in multiple ways.

@FritzAdalis Grok? Really? Ya went there? Provide alternate citations if you like.
Jairaj Devadiga@codinghorror @FritzAdalis I must agree with Fritz. We don't like Substack because of all the nazis it is willing to host.
We don't like Grok because Elon Musk is also a nazi.
I was going to dig up some links, but I see that Mathew has provided numerous alternative citations below.
@jairajdevadiga @codinghorror
To be fair I don't think it's actually Grok, I just wanted to poke him a little. And I think he hates... Anthropic? So maybe Chatgpt.

@FritzAdalis @jairajdevadiga the one that actually believes they are creating sentient life. The cult. That one, buddy.

@geist @FritzAdalis @jairajdevadiga "use your voice"? I actually physically write in all caps in real life BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS YELLING .. at people who need to fix their shit
G@codinghorror @FritzAdalis "alternate citations"? Alternate to what. Your generated text?
I mean, I know substack is awful I don't need any citations.
mathew@FritzAdalis @codinghorror I refer people to https://leavesubstack.com which has a bunch of links. One of the recent detailed ones is https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/feb/07/revealed-how-substack-makes-money-from-hosting-nazi-newsletters
@mathew @FritzAdalis thank you for this!
Herr Bischoff@codinghorror 100%. I now close the browser tab immediately when I encounter something on Substack. I’m entirely disinterested in whatever someone has to say who choses to remain there. It may not be a full-on Nazi bar yet, but I don’t go to places where Nazis, racists, bigots, haters and other pieces of shit are tolerated and even paid. I’m also not going to be polite about it. Fuck this. Fuck them.
zbrown@codinghorror eeeeeewwwww, cite the actual authors writing about substack, not some statistically average slop based on their stolen work
@zbrown feel free to make that happen if you beleive so strongly in it!
@codinghorror oh dear, looks like your planet killer failed to summarise my point correctly
@codinghorror ofc fuck substack, but did you just prompt an ai system for this? lol
