You probably know but Substacks’ free speech thing is a huge turn off.
That’s how you end up sending push notifications for your latest Nazi content.

unfortunately some occasional hate speech is the price we have to pay for free speech
Some countries choose that path and they are where they are.
We are where we are due to our choices too - New Zealand.
There are countries with freedom of expression without this pseudo-'free speech' BS.
Unfortunate as that notification error might be, you cannot call free speech free if you only allow if for some opinions.
"Free speech" is a thing between persons and the state. It does not require persons to accommodate nazis.
Some corporations claim otherwise because they think nazis are good for business.

And they are right at this time in various major tech hubs.
We will see how that works out.
Nazism is not an opinion. It is a dangerous ideology that has cost the lives and freedoms of many people. And will do so again, if left unchecked.
