i feel like I’ve never heard anything about substack and then all of a sudden out of nowhere i was hearing about it everywhere. never used it. now that I know it has a nazi/far-right problem, staying away from it by at least 1000 miles
Some countries have pretty strict laws about not promoting Nazi ideology - by pushing that notifications it would probably be breaking that law.
I really really hate that they call themselves a socialist party… like the KKK calling themselves Racial Unity.
Teeeeeeeeeeechnically, the term is correct, the Nazi regime did offer socialist benefits… Only for those they considered “nationals”, hence NatSoc.
Socialism alone does not guarantee democracy nor freedom of speech, it is strictly a financial system where the means of production are owned by society. The prefix “national” then defines who that society is.
And yet it is used as the bogeyman anytime someone mentions the dirty word “socialism” in the US. Despite the fact that Socialism at this point would have to be better better than the crony capitalism we have now.
It’s almost like Substack has a Nazi problem and has for years.
Stop pretending substack isn’t a Nazi platform, because they actively support Nazi propaganda on their site and have refused to take it down or commit to keeping it off their platform.
Substack is run by Nazi supporters at the very least, which should be enough for people to flee in droves, but more people are ok with Nazis than we want to admit.
How does it compare to lemmy?
Lemmy has a tankie problem, but I rather deal with tankies over nazis.
It’s also federated. Which instance has a tankie problem? Which instance has a Nazi problem?
Lemmy.ml and hexbear have tankie problems. Thankfully it’s easy to block instances. I’m not aware of any instance that got Nazi problems.
Oh yeah, I agree. I blocked hexbear, but not .ml yet. I’m still willing to argue with that group. It’s just saying “lemmy” has a Nazi problem is like saying email has a Nazi problem.
