Substack is at it again
“Why on earth would you brag to your users that you've partnered with a bunch of protofascists?"
Substack is not even an accidental Nazi bar. “The current number one History Substack is Martyr Made by Daryl Cooper, a Holocaust revisionist”— @marisakabas.bsky.social from her The Handbasket newsletter (powered by beehiiv) www.thehandbasket.co/p/substack-a...

As one commenter put it: “Why on earth would you brag to your users that you've partnered with a bunch of protofascists? You want us all to leave or what?”
Celebrating the “high-integrity” and “meticulous editorial standards” of a site that published unvetted allegations about a transgender youth clinic that became the basis for Missouri to outlaw most gender-affirming care for minors is a curious choice. There are plenty of writers who remain on the platform with actual integrity and journalism chops, so the decision to singularly salute Weiss and co. reads like an intentional statement of values by Substack. Then again, their values were made crystal clear last year.
New: I wrote about Substack's splashy new partnership with Bari Weiss, what it's been like in the year since Substackers Against Nazis, and why you really need to get the fuck out of there:

This used to happen to me! But it stopped maybe ~2 years ago. Trying to think of weird apps I was running back then that I no longer am... Whatever clipboard app I was using before Pastebot maybe? (Can't currently remember the name but it was very bare-bones)

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.
You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Bluesky feels more like old Twitter than X does
As more users flee X, a clearer, sunnier social media age is dawning.
“…trans posters were the earliest adopters of Bluesky and were able to forge the platform into what it is today: funny, frequently horny, and with very strong moderation tools. If you like Bluesky’s vibe right now, thank a trans person.” [vox.com]
