At first I thought that substack was part of the Thiel/Musk enterprise or some other messed up billionaire club of political engineering, but not much was offered. Say "Substak is . . . a political project made by extremists . . ." Can't see any evidence of it here.
The other angle I could see is Substack is algo'ing neo-nazi content to folks. But I can't go to cancel mode just for hosting. I can see that getting reductive - who's the hypersaler, who provided the electrons, who's sold them the servers . . . there is no end. It really needs to end with reader.
There's this continued idea to deplatform far-right bigots trying to make money online. Some will woefully let them speak their bile, but stop them at trying to make money. For example, you can't, if you're a nazi, start a Patreon.
You sure we absolutely need a newsletter website that is in a business arrangement with people who want to kill people based on the colour of their skin?
Not just letting them on the platform, allowing them to make money off off their bigotry.
Who do you think I am, Uncle Sam? Holding each others to standards of who we allow on our platforms has nothing to do with freedom of speech in the US constitution. The US constitution does not force anyone, even the government, to provide a platform.
