Substack openly hosts unambiguous medical misinformation that can result in harm. It's reasonable to not want to support that, indirectly or otherwise.

There is a big different between simply hosting websites and actively pushing them to drive engagement and ad views.
Substack is actively promoting many of these questionable people in order to drive engagement.

How is that relevant to selfhosting the software that Ghost provides under an MIT license?
It's not, and maybe my comment was unclear. My comment was about the Ghost managed hosting service and its competitors. It's just a little strange that Substack is blamed for allowing medical misinformation on a thread praising its competitor, when that competitor also allows medical misinformation.
All I'm saying is that when judging the policies of these companies, we should apply a consistent standard.
