Hi NextUp. Are you sure you want to use Substack?

Substack makes money from literal Nazis: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/feb/07/revealed-how-substack-makes-money-from-hosting-nazi-newsletters

Unlike most other popular social platforms, they refuse to remove hateful and fascist content. They argue it's about freedom of speech, but we don't live in a word where we actually have full freedom of speech, and there's good reasons for that. NextUp is not a free speech platform, for the same kind of reasons? You wouldn't put up problematic comedy specials, or allow hateful comments on them?

Some comedians and other live performers are starting to abandon their Substack accounts as a result. They don't want to drink at the same bar as Nazis.

This site is helpful for moving to a platform with better ethics: https://leavesubstack.com
