Comment on Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content

Good for them. I’m all for allowing people make their own choices about what kind of content they want to see instead of a corporation/government deciding for them.

I can’t think of a single thing we’re succesfully gotten rid of by banning it. I however can think of several examples where it has had an opposite effect.

I totally agree.

If I don’t want to see something, I should be able to block it myself.

I don’t want other people deciding what I should and should not see. That’s patronizing.

  if the nazis come into power, you will not be able to “decide not to see them”

    I don’t think preemptive fascism is the solution. The world many people seem to be advocating for here doesn’t honestly seem that much different from one led by nazies. They just replace jews and gays with other groups of people they don’t like.

    you’re conflating fascism with the actions necessary to stop fascism. you may want to read up on the “paradox of tolerance”. here’s the first sentence from the wikipedia page:
    
    The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.

    If you think curating what is allowed on a website is fascism, no one should listen to you at all because you clearly are talking about things you don't understand.

    This is the absolute stupidest take I have ever seen. Read a goddamned book (or, actually understand what Nazis stand for) before you comment on things.....
