Substack hosts swastika-laden Nazi accounts promoting white supremacism (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/feb/07/revealed-how-substack-makes-money-from-hosting-nazi-newsletters). If you're currently using Substack, you might want to switch to a more ethical alternative like Ghost.

Ghost is a Fediverse-compatible blog and newsletter platform, it runs on free open software and you can host it yourself or use a paid hosting service. More info:
