As soon as I saw your headline, I knew what it referred directly to, but I couldn't help thinking how the bullies in both major parties in Ohio usually win their internal battles.
Hi DJ great work as usual. Wasn't sure where to post this, but curious of your perspective on the Substack content moderation approach. You know that Communists and Nazis don't get along, right? Will you continue on the platform, move, or do a wait and see?
Yeah, I try to avoid most of that discourse because honestly, all Big Tech platforms are problematic in some way. I still post on Twitter despite it turning more into a Nazi den every day.
As for Substack, I am waiting to see if they follow through with the removal of the Nazis. I am not a very technical person, but to me, promising they would remove them and then failing to do so would be worse than tolerating them in the first place. I've thought about moving to Ghost in the past but I'm scared about fucking up my golden goose.
Completely understand. They did a great job attracting independent writers including a bunch of very big names and then managed to piss off many of them and their supporters. And for what? Just another example to add to the list "Why Billionaires are not smarter than the rest of us". I also financially support Molly White who is now hosting herself, but she's a software engineer by training and even she had some hiccups with the move. Would like continuing supporting you financially wherever you wind-up DJ and it's annoying that you (and all of us) have to even spend time thinking about this. Best of luck brother! - don
Gary Click is a closet trans porn enthusiast, I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life.

You know—you're in your bag with that one!
