Question for something I’m writing: would it be possible for Substack to make substack Notes (its twitter like feature within the Substack app) part of the fediverse?
I’m wondering if this is something that’s technically possible or not and I don’t know enough about how the fediverse operates to know if it would be feasible. #fediverse

Substack is a platform I personally do neither recommend nor support.

@leyrer @Boss @ErikUden I found this ultimately not very compelling. A handful of problematic newsletters, most of whom never published, with a collective 27 followers between them is not any sort of widespread issue compared to other platforms. Also Ghost’s biggest publisher is a far right, many would say Neo nazi, blog (which was even promoted on their website).
@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social Yeah, I don’t get the Substack “hate” either beyond the general criticism of being a centralized (which has the benefit of actually paying independent writers, though). The only people I follow on Substack are you, Michael Moore, and a few other I’d call progressives. So, keep using the platform as long as it suits you ^ ^
@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social @Boss@troet.cafe @ErikUden@mastodon.de I understand that the USA has a different understand if “free speech” than eg. Austria, where I come from. We have laws against Nazi logos and Nazi speech for historical reasons (look up WW2).
Furthermore, as a member of the CCC, I fully agree with the club’s stance against right-extremist ideology.
