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.
SCOOP: Substack sent a push alert promoting a Nazi blog
The alert contained a swastika and prompted users to subscribe to newsletter featuring opinions and news important to the "white nationalist community."

You absolutely can and should regardless.
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 -

There is a deep irony covering this by writing about it.. on Substack

I cringe everytime someone's like "subscribe to my Substack". No, fuck off with your substack, everyone knows they're nazi supporters, you're complicit.
No such thing as a Nazi supporter, my friend. That's just a Nazi.

I've heard good things about ghost.

Is there a substack self-hosted replacement

"I'm not a Nazi, but twenty bucks is twenty bucks."
--Substack, probably
"I'm also not not a Nazi"- Substack founders, definitely

Centrists: "Oh so everyone you disagree with is a nazi?"

In fairness, what better place is there for Substack users to see it and consider leaving the platform?

The main benefit of having a substack vs just running some blog software is that substack manages monetization/subscriptions for you. Hosting text-based content is very easy, but getting paid for it isn't.

As a German it's completely mind boggling to me that some societies tolerate an ideology that is responsible for plunging the world into its biggest humane catastrophe (so far), for the sake of free speech.
Nazi ideology wants to kill free speech. If you truly want to protect free speech, you have to at least limit it to all the things that do not threaten it. -

I deleted substack back when I randomly got porn in a push notification. You'd think they would address this - I'm no expert, but this doesn't seem good for them.

Yeah, and you just have to sell your soul to the Nazi platform so you can get paid easy.

Can't criticize unless an alternative is provided tho, can you?
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.

Hey, at least the music was good.

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?

Fucking watch me.
Nazis bad. <- note the period that makes that a full sentence.
Don’t use substack. Or Twitter.

Nazi ideology wants to kill free speech. If you truly want to protect free speech, you have to at least limit it to all the things that do not threaten it.Note that the largest Nazi groups today are in the "allied" nations that "won" WW2.
I read a piece (can't find the source now, sorry) that blamed this squarely on the lack of education and remorse given to the colonial backdrop in which WW2 was fought.
Most parts of the world view WW2 as very much a European war that was imposed on unwilling global participants. The axis powers lost and Germany has since tried its best to reinvent itself while acknowledging its chequered past (check out: Vergangenheitsbewältigung), but the allied powers failed to recognise their colonial atrocities. For example, British history textbooks will loosely allude to the British empire saying that they were once a dominating global entity, but will make absolutely no mention of the numerous massacres and genocides for which they were responsible.
When wars are framed as competitions rather than tragedies, you will see the emergence of false victors instead of acknowledging lost generations. This directly results in a poor public understanding of how bad ideas can fester and hollow out any society.
