MODERATORS
Some users were recently sent push notifications to highlight a neo-nazi substack that showed a swastika icon
The bit that infuriates me is how Facebook (and others) also do this, and claims that they're too big to police everything. Like, you might not be able to check every single thing that gets posted, but it's definitely not beyond your powers to check everything that your platform actively promotes at people who didn't request it.

Dark web social media here we come
It is all evolution in progress at every scale. Some people are already extinct but haven't gotten the memo. To live is to change.

Like Nepalese construction workers. They could have the most impressive cities but they don't.
Cities are built by markets, not people.
Infrastructure is the issue. Got to be able to get to the new city.
What is substack? I only heard of it everytime they got involved with nazis
A blog publishing site.
Like WordPress?
I think it’s not as do-it-yourself as wordpress. Basically all the hosting and templates are premade and easy to activate. Though it can be customized I don’t think it has the plug-in ecosystem like WP.
Like WordPress.com (i.e., without the self-hosted option that is WordPress.org), if there was also waaay less ability to customise your blog's theme. It's designed to look and feel much more like a single blog that has many contributors. Maybe think Twitter or Facebook, but using blog posts instead of Tweets and photos as the main medium.
It's also famous for the fact that its owners refuse to ban literal Nazis.
