As a bit of feedback: Substack is actively ok with nazis (featured an account with a swastika in their header not too long ago*, have a history of being cool with "free speech" fascists) so I'm unfortunately not gonna read your article on that platform.

    Absolutely fair enough and I appreciate you letting me know. There is a bit of irony in you linking me a substack article in your response about how you refuse to read my substack article, but I'll leave that be haha.

    For the record Lemmy has had a Nazi problem for a bit and a problem with CSAM material as well, if that's a hard stopping point for you, and fair enough if it is, you should probably start looking elsewhere.

    Haha, ooops, I didn't realise that was Substack, did not know you can use your own domain.

    Yeah, Lemmy and the fediverse in general have some awful instances / accounts (and a lot of the people writing the software are problematic as well) but I think that this is a bit different since you can block those instances / users or use an instance that doesn't federate with awful instances. Not using email because there is a nazi email provider is different from using a platform that is cool with and promoting nazi content (even if that service also has cool content) in my opinion.

    Anyway, I'm gonna look into Ghost as well, it seems really cool that they also do newsletters!
