The Substack app sent a push notification promoting a Nazi newsletter to several users.

I really really hate that they call themselves a socialist party... like the KKK calling themselves Racial Unity.
It's about attributing all the ills of society to a particular class (specifically the class in charge of the banks and other moneyed interests) and claiming that all violence and oppression directed toward them is justified.

Oh yeah. Circulating random swastika-labelled push notifications talking about a sickness that "aflicks (?) all Jews" is a pretty big no-no in most, if not all, of the civilized world.

Nazis called their symbol Hakenkreuz (Hooked Cross).
For some reason, anglos chose to use Eastern religions' term for their holy symbols.

"aflicks" -facepalm-

Yeah, it would be wonderful if that symbol could eventually be reclaimed. Seems a bit far off though. Would English speakers know what you refer to if you say hakenkreuz?
In my native tongue it's called hakekors, and I speak some German, so I'm not in a position to assess how understandable it would be to folks who only speak English.

aflicks...

Oh Substack what are you doing

If you ever get the chance to see one it's actually quite a bit more odd than a cloud passing over. It feels kinda wrong. Shadows do funny things especially around things like tree leaves. The colors are just kinda eerie. Like the other person said we're not super good at telling light levels so it LOOKS sunny but the sunlight doesn't feel warm.
But yeah if you don't know it's happening it is totally possible to miss a partial eclipse if you're inside or busy and just passing through outside.
I saw last year's North American eclipse in the path of totality. I know what you mean. It is very strange.

Yeah I traveled for that one and just barely avoided the clouds. Memory of a lifetime.

I think calling it 'hooked cross' would be a good start.

Nazi shit, again

There are plenty of Nazi instances, but most non-Nazi instances share a common blocklist and don't federate with them.

LOL... "Aflicks". He actually typed that out, and was like YEP aflicks is totally a word, send it! Idiot.
-
Can we talk about "afflicks" Choosing to spell like a 4 year old when spell check is pervasively available...
Spell check might have been written by a jew or a black, can't risk it. That's how they get you.

Yes, this has come up repeatedly over the years.
The problem is that it is really the only viable platform for independent articles/blogs these days. That is already a ridiculously small potential audience (people who can read AND people who are willing to pay for content). Cutting out the one platform that got any traction is as good as quitting.
It is similar to why businesses (which is what we are talking about) couldn't leave twitter until like a year and a half ago or whenever bluesky went open sign ups. Yeah, it is a platform owned by nazis and infested with them but... it is also the only way to advertise said businesses and have any hope of surviving. That said, once bluesky gained traction there is absolutely zero reason to not, at the very least, diversify (preferably dropping musknet entirely).
For Substack? Ghost is an increasingly viable platform. But just look around here for any time someone posts a link to a 404 media article and you get "Ugh. Fucking scammers want to rugpull and steal all my personal information" for... wanting ANY email to be used for a free account to just limit the impact of bot/ai scraping.
Its less that "more people are ok with Nazis than we want to admit"... especially considering many of the people on substack are talking about said fucking Nazis. The problem is that "fewer people are willing to support independent media than we want to admit". It is the same logic of "if I like a youtube channel I'll give them money on their patreon" that is patently flawed.
I use Ghost for my blog and don't have any trackers nor do I require emails.
So I wouldn't attribute that to Ghost but rather attribute it to 404Media.
That said, I disagree, there are blogging platforms other than Substack. Sub stack is just the current popular choice and people are too lazy to move unless they personally have a problem.
Unfortunately blogging next to Nazi propaganda isn't a problem for those people.

Don't these people have spellcheck? Like, if I try to enter a word like that, I'll get a red line under it. What system are they using that doesn't have spellcheck?

Sounds like the dollar store version of Ben Affleck, Bin Aflick.
