@WTL Or we address the structure that leads to so many platforms turning sour

@Torithom Off the top of my head, I'd say for-profit, VC backed social media will always chase all the money, so will take anyone as customers, no matter how distastefully fascist they are.

@WTL yes, and is there a track record of running not for profit then changing model later on? Like with OpenAI? Meaning there needs to be more mechanisms shown from the beginning for added assurity when committing to a new platform.

We have long known that it platforms and profits from Nazi publications. And now: #manosphere influencers with multiple accusations of serious crimes... so much so that there is a dedicated Wikipedia page about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_Tate_brothers
No problem for #Substack though! They happily take a 10% cut from all paid subscriptions.
There are many great alternatives to SS: Ghost, Buttondown, beehiiv, Patreon... no more excuses
we're policing our own platform, demanding tptb unNazi
don't take away the income of many excellent journalists and progressive voices because you think we can't manage our own Nazis -
i deeply apologize. you are totally right
you winningly reply guyed about people complaining about nazis- which, as we all know, complaining about nazis is the *real* problem
not at all is the problem, like, you know, the actual bona fide nazis on substack?

If you actually read what I said you would know that I was referencing how everyone on this platform calls everything Nazi or Fascist....lol

Another thing to mention
Why do you all see 1 bad actor and instantly call something a Nazi bar? Some people there are just tryna make some cash no?

well yes, the saying goes that if you go in a bar and there are nazis there, it's a nazi bar
do you know why that's a well known saying?

Because 1 bad actor is using something...it's bad now?
Nazis use encrypted communications, let's boycott those too then. No more matrix, xmpp, signal, etc because the Nazis use them!!!
You can't hate a platform because of the people mate, ignore the oddballs and use the platform for what it's meant for

@benroyce
What I said would also go to your little "logic 101 win then"I use xmpp, I'm not a Nazi, Nazis use xmpp, I am using the same software and advocating for others to use it. Public mucs have Nazis because its encrypted and they are scared.
When you add your own rules to how something works you really start to break down your own argument....

You win! Using a tool that is the same kind of tool someone else uses is exactly the same thing as hanging out with them in a bar. Damn have I have been schooled
