        One of the great things of federation is that those instances get blocked by these great people called mods and admins. Substack doesn’t do that.

      Here’s to hoping this comments’ downvotes get an explanation or I’m assuming they’re just coming from nazis without a dignified retort \_ (ツ)_/¯

        Logic dictates it’s a dumb thing to post, nazis likely use every site in existence, good luck never using a service that they also use.

        Just because a shitty group of people use a product, doesn’t necessarily mean the product itself is the problem, additionally in this case it’s specifically being used for a good purpose.

        Imagine if you will, a product the can cure horses of parasitic worms, but idiots use it to try and cure themselves of a disease we have an actual cure for, and someone comes along and says hey I used this stuff to cure my horse and this guy comes in and says, “Well actually, people used that product improperly so actually it’s bad.”

        People boo them, and you say, “man all these people sure love taking this product improperly”

          Omg are you trapped in 2015? Starting a reply with “logic dictates” is so gamergate coded. Learn some basic philosophy before saying stuff like that because it demonstrates you have no idea what objectivity or subjectivity are.

            Ah yes great point getting to the core of my post by saying it’s gamer gate coded and ignoring the logic in my metaphor.

          I hope your ‘logic’ also dictates a difference between using a product and (condoning) publishing/monetizing pro-nazi content. Hopefully most can see how one is a potential issue at the least. I know we all gotta eat tho–and to that end I don’t wish to throw shade unnecessarily.

              Ah yes great point getting to the core of my post by using false analogies, red herrings and appeals to ridicule

              Your logic dictates strange paths to truth friend.

                I’m specifically pointing out that’s the logic being applied by the original response, which I made more clear with my example

                  I understand what you think you’re pointing out (I was also hoping you were familiar with the fallacies I listed so you could maybe refine your position).

                  I still believe platforms like Substack have a responsibility to try to avoid enabling harmful (such as nazi) ideologies. Do you think you could spell out a logic for why I shouldn’t hold this belief? Preferably without unrelated analogies that distract from a simple coherent argument if possible

                    See if you weren’t being an antagonistic ass the whole time I’d put forth the time and effort to give a response, but you just want to be a dick every other sentence so why bother?
