  1. So I've been wondering if I should move my newsletter back to Substack. I'm not sure I should. Why help fund a system that is ok with racism and transphobia? @verge/1646588861529706497

      Substack's argument is that Notes is a new social network and they've just started it. I left Substack 18 months ago because of their attitude to transphobia. They simply don't want to ban content that generates money for them. Ugh.

        This is from 2 years ago - gen.medium.com/substack-is-not-a-neutral-platform-8fc5bdf8e5f2. It's depressing because they have built a system that *seems* like a good way for writers to build an audience and earn money. But I don't want to help fund hate and so my newsletter fails to grow.
