RE: https://werd.social/@ben/116030441751003396
I can’t figure out why anyone with any sense of decency uses #Substack to host their blog after Nilay Patel’s disastrous interview with Substack CEO #ChrisBest on this topic and The Atlantic’s 2023 article.

"The whole point of SubStack is this is your audience, that you can import your email list, you can export your email list, the fundamental currency is direct connection with your audience."
#ChrisBest, 2025
https://revolution.social/episodes/substack-ceo-chris-best-on-democratizing-media-con/So ... why was Notes built as a silo, instead of using ActivityPub to connect it to the fediverse? With tools that enable you to export your social graph (lists of follows and followed-bys), so you could import it into Ghost, for example, or Mastodon, and carry on.

If you want to hear SS's Chris Best try to defend their approach, and @rabble challenging him on its implications, this is well worth a listen;

I’m surprised how many liberal/progressive voices publish good content on #Substack after CEO #ChrisBest dodged and then crumbled under questioning from #NilayPatel about removing racist content from Substack in April 2023. Maybe no practical alternative exists to Substack? Best is still CEO today.

I've been listening to #NilayPatel's interview with #ChrisBest about #Substack and #SubstackNotes.
I feel like the #moderation discussion starting at about 42 minutes (listen to Nilay's introductory comments for context) makes a really good argument NOT to use a centralised social service.
I added a trimmed audio clip to this post.
People who may switch to #SubstackNotes from #Twitter (hypothetically), are just exchanging one nightmare for another potential problem space.
At least with a federated network, you can make your own choices and not have to suffer through someone else's moderation choices.

#Substack #ChrisBest
It’s the “oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now” problem.Techdirt:
Substack CEO Chris Best Doesn't Realize He's Just Become The Nazi Bar"I get it. I totally get it. Every tech dude comes along and has this thought: 'hey, we’ll be the free speech social media site. We won’t do any moderation beyond what’s required.' Even Twitter initially thought this. But then everyone discovers reality. Some discover it faster than others, but everyone discovers it."

Holy moly!
This Interview with #Substack CEO Chris Best had so many red flags. It seems to become just another #rightwing #hate network.
The first part of the #interview was fascinating, and the end went down terrible. I didn't expect that or better I didn't know.A snipped

#ElonMusk vs #ChrisBest - next episode of the #Substack #Twitter drama. Musk got caught lying, again. It's crazy that he thinks obviously verifiable lies (@1) won't be checked by anyone. Crazy. -

"This is why we have a platform that can welcome all tribes and ideas, and where even bitter enemies can coexist in relative peace.
This movement is building. It may seem small now, but I am starting to believe we are already past the worst of our current culture war madness and that we will get to see a detente, followed by some measure of peace.
Will this be good or bad for our business? Honestly, I welcome the change either way..."
