Substack sent a push alert promoting a Nazi blog
www.usermag.co
The newsletter's logo is a swastika and it has pushed Holocaust denialism along with news and opinion content for the 'White Nationalist Community.'

Substack sent a push alert encouraging users to subscribe to a Nazi newsletter that claimed Jewish people are a sickness and that we must eradicate minorities to build a “White homeland.”

This has been a problem for years: Substack has a Nazi problem - The Atlantic

Substack won’t commit to removing Nazi content - TechCrunch

I don’t think this can be ignored anymore. If you’re on Substack, please consider one of its many fine alternatives. Wired wrote about a few last year.

Plus, it’s quite easy to move a newsletter these days.

    Substack just annoying as can be anyway, with the constant spammy pop-ups about subscribed to my newsletter and whatever the hell else. Absolutely atrocious blogging platform

        Lol, I can absolutely call a website (or argument) awful or absolutely moronic without providing an alternative. Especially when we’re talking about Nazi supporters (which substack objectively is and has been for years).

        As a wise man once said, I don’t need to be a pilot to know a helicopter doesn’t belong in a tree.

          I almost fully agree Idk about ‘should’ just out of paranoia that I can imagine a case where criticizing without sufficient contrast or a consistent-enough background of otherness, could potentially have unintended consequences or surprisingly negative overall moral impacts Or maybe just paranoid idek

        Fucking watch me.

        Nazis bad. <- note the period that makes that a full sentence.

        Don’t use substack. Or Twitter.

        Maybe I’m mistaken, but couldn’t you just use like… Fucking SquareSpace or some shit, and just make a blog on your own site?
