In the latest episode of revolution.social I talk to the co-founder and ceo of Substack, Chris Best. He is trying to navigate building an open advertising free platform, lock-in, and debates over what content they should or shouldn’t allow on their platform.

The only people who talk about the 'nazi bar' dilemma are on Bluesky, ie the most obnoxious and unhinged people who even the Twitter Left distance themselves from.
There's also a good reason to be dubious about the 'nazi bar' problem on substack. There's an organisation in the UK called Hope Not Hate which labels people 'neo-nazis' often with made up quotes as evidence. These articles are then used by journalists ("journalists") in mainstream press to freely label authors as neo-nazi citing their source as Hope Not Hate, off-shoring their slander.
Which is not to say there probably are some incredibly stupid neo nazi bullshit content on substack obviously. But there will also be these more prominent writers who have been falsely labeled as such.
I think this could be a good person to reach out to too: Kickstarter and Metalabel cofounder Yancey Strickler. Actually also Katherine Dee. ( nostr:nprofile1qqsx8ykr8ru3p9px0rumqfl7t7nccseh3q5f3dvvytwc2n8j5vpwpzqpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ezuerpw3sju6rpw4ej7hc2gza )
