Is anyone who follows Taylor a Nazi?
Will it be acceptable to hurl this insult on Mastodon??

in reply to Taylor Lorenz • • •this is why free speech can't be centralized or hosted on platforms with algos. the service will eventually have to decide some stuff goes too far for their other users, and eventually push stuff on people who don't want it.
an open network where you mostly only see what's boosted by who you follow with good moderation for unwanted mentions, is the way to let everybody share a space. like the web and email.

in reply to Taylor Lorenz • • •Yet more proof why centralized platforms are fundamentally incompatible with free speech, especially those with algorithms, and *especially* if said algorithms are designed to rake in cash
Guess I'll be adding substack to my router's blacklist

Time to move, I think Taylor. I can recommend Ghost as an alternative. It may work out better value too.

I mean, they're not wrong when they say "rising in history".
But yes, however substack is structured, they are evil due to promoting that shit.

There is no defence for this. We all know how Popperβs Paradox of Tolerance works.

in reply to Taylor Lorenz • • •The only reason I have a substack account was to subscribe to a story posted in parts by Karl Schroeder and I found substack so incomprehensibly hard to navigate I dropped my subscription only a few chapters in.
How are terrible platforms like substack and discord successful?
