  • Your gmail notification point doesn’t track, but its the most minimal point so i’ll drop it.

    I dont think Substack is specially just a Nazi platform. I think they are Capitalists that will use any kind of speech to make money. While bootstrapping, they found a niche in leftist independent journalism. Now, they view far right hate as profitable, both directly with Nazi commentors and being paid large sums to enshittify the platform from far right figures.

    They dont care about racism or hate because they are rich and it makes them money. That does make them bad people, no matter how many leftists they also profit from.

    I absolutely expect they will follow a Twitter style path from here on out, with or without Musk at the helm. Once you let the Nazi’s into the bar, they take over by driving everyone else out. Substack has said “come on in!” so they will. Some leftist will remain for a while, but eventually the Nazis will be all that’s left.

    I expect you make some kind of living off Substack? Maybe look into Ghost as an option. They take way, way less money even when fully hosted.


  • Are you even reading the comment you’re replying to? It doesn’t seem like it.

    Gmail doesnt “push notifications” for anything besides receiving email. Recieving a spam messsage, i.e an interaction with a federated service that anyone can run, is not at all the same as a company’s app, that they full control, pushing a notification, that they fully control, from content on their site, that they full control. Comparing that to Gmail, which is in this case would be a neutral party to the content of the push notification, is not the same.

    I very clearly pointed out that i expect the notification came from a computer fucking up. You should re-read the comment to make sure you understand it. I also made it very clear that if you have nazi shit on your platform, your computers may fuck up and push that that Nazi shit out to people. The best way to combat that is not having Nazi shit.

    Either way, it’s good to see you accepting that “Substack welcomes Nazis” is accurate now. Maybe it wasn’t in 2023, the last time they made headlines for paying Nazis to post on their platform, but it is now. I expect with the very recent 100 million cash influx from far right Trump supporters, that isn’t going to change.

    Maybe stop carrying so much water for a site that is clearly absolutely cool with Nazis?


  • Its when the next UN general assembly meets:

    The 80th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) opens on September 9, 2025. Two weeks later, High-Level General Debate kicks off Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

    As the United Nations marks its 80th year, global leaders will convene in New York City to build consensus and confront complex global challenges. Eight decades after its establishment, the UN remains the only place on Earth where countries can gather to work through their differences and find common ground — shaping our shared future.

    Spacing it to September is both a deadline and a stick for Israel. If acknowledged as a nation by enough countries, Palenstine gains rights it doesn’t currently have to redress/self governance/etc. Enforcing them will be challenging, but they will have them anf that makes a lot of what Israel has done to Palenstinies harder.

    Israel very, very much does not want this to happen. This is some countries like France saying “fuck it, we aren’t covering for you anymore now that the starving kids pictures are showing up” while countries like the UK are saying “fix the dying kids or else” and countries like Germany are saying “we committed genocide against you so we wont begrudge you your own because we consider letting you murder children some kind of weird german liberal guilt thing.”


  • Comparing a platform internal push alert system with a random spam email is asinine. This was the companies own system pushing nazi content they host to users, all with their own tools.

    I have no idea what youre on about with the URL, but i absolutely accept that their notification system fucked up and mass spammed users with literal Nazi content they actively host on their platform. Machines break, computers are no exception.

    The “actively hosting Nazi content” is the issue. Not hosting Nazis is actually a stunningly good way to prevent your internal tooling from spamming customers with Nazi shit. Its nearly flawless. The fact that Substack does not employ it is the issue.

    Do check in and see if the two listed Nazi stacks get deleted. It would be a reasonable thing for Substack to do if they don’t want Nazis on their platform. If they don’t do it, I would expect that both of us will have our answer of what they want to host.

    I dont know the article, but looking for work generally helps me when im absolutely fucking done with a job.

    Yes, its more work, but it makes all the “huge and terrible” problems of your main job seem smaller, isolated, even stupid. They matter less because you dont have to depend on that job anymore, so you actually do get better mentally.

    Then, if the job search is good or the second job is enough, quit that first fucker and be totally done with all the stress.






  • The only possible justifications are “to protect victims” and “to protect people from baseless accusations” if there really is no proof of anything.

    The first can be done with retractions. The latter is the issue for MAGA, as trump and his boosters have been claiming for years that the files are full of vile, evil shit that is being hidden and that they would expose everyone. They claimed this for half a decade, and were saying the truth was about to come out just months ago. They claimed they put 10,000 FBI agents on the case to verify the files, and gave MAGA influencers a “part 1” dossier to splash around.

    Suddenly, a few months later there is nothing to see, even as more and more leaks about Trump being a pedophile hit the news.

    Now they are playing games about releasing “credible” reports (i.e nothing with Trump in them or any republicans) and releasing everything but the files.

    Tech bros and corpo sales drones trying to throw a “hip” pizza party where people can see them get out of their beemers and where they can pretend to have hobbies and souls by being “fun.”

    Or

    Cookie cutter, middle class grind culture mating grounds where people dress up to get drunk overpaying for booze while they fail to hit a golf ball and post about how zany they are on the gram’

    Or

    Said better than all the above
