I thought I could take this down after the election, apparently not.

    I’m not going to make a call for violence, but I want to point out the hypocrisy here. The rich have chosen violence every day of our and their lives, yet we plebes have to be civil about it? Taking the high road hasn’t done us any favors, and it’s about time we learn from that lesson.

      If you are open to the risk, you can start your own server that is federated with Lemmy and such where you can allow whatever you wish. There are guides to this and, supposedly (based on looking to start my own single-user mbin instance a few months ago), it’s not so costly

    So, op-eds from main stream media are allowed, but journalists publishing their work through substack is not allowed. So, only the establishment is allowed to have their voices heard. Got it. Quite the hill to die on @jordanlund

      We don’t care who is publishing on Substack. The platform as a whole is not a news source.

        That’s increasingly a not very nuanced or serious stance to hold given that actual journalists and columnists do publish on substack, especially those that are trying to break away from billionaire controlled “news sources” with owners that are actually interfering in editorial and reporting decisions. Do you remove all op-eds from your “news sources”? If not, you’re saying billionaire-controlled “news sources” are legitimate, but not independent journalists and columnists with actual bona fides, including having been part of establishment media or worked in government previously. The internet has destroyed journalism, seems wrong to tune out those who are trying to put it together again.

          They do, but we aren’t going to go through, blog by blog, separating the wheat from the chaff then getting into arguments of “But, but, you allow THIS Substack blog, why not miiiiinne!”

          Nope. Not having that discussion.

          Blog sites, Substack, Medium, Blogger, etc. do NOT have the same journalistic standards as news articles, they don’t have journalistic standards to speak of, and are not accepted. Full stop.

    Thanks for your work especially on this day as the free world lost the USA.

      None of us are as “free” as we believe we are. At the end of the day our politicians are all financed by our wealthiest individuals and corporations (many of which are foreign).

      No matter where you are the majority of your domestic politics, your geopolitics — your “national security” — is intrinsically linked to the wealthiest individuals and corporations that engage with your economy. This can happen anywhere, and it will if we do nothing.

      P.S. thanks mods!
