I've said this elsewhere today & earnestly say it again(& sadly probably again and again): holy fuck this world makes me sad. Go away Nazis, nobody likes you (except total a-holes.) thanks for bringing this to light.

complete agree, Substack should not be some sanctuary for pro-Nazi groups.

I also would like to add my name to that letter. Permitting Nazis to spread their hate is unforgiveable. I would not want to be associated with an entity that allows a platform for extremists, terrorists and genocidal groups.

Thank you, Laurie. Please feel free to copy the letter and post it on your substack site. You're right permitting Nazis to use Substack as a forum for their hate is unforgiveable and I believe, unAmerican. We all may have to find a new platform on which to publish our thoughts.

I want to add my concern about providing a platform for any extremist group. How do I make my voice heard?

Most disturbing. The world is so full of violence now and people casually accusing others of being "Nazis," without aiding and abetting those who truly aim to support the cause in its 20th century National Socialist iteration. It was missed by no one who is thoughtful that, while Elise Stefanik shredded college presidents for antisemitism, she supports the former POTUS who said there were fine people on both sides of "Unite the Right," Charlottesville, 2017.

Thanks, Laurie, for apprising us. Substack's "neutral" stance is outrageous, obviously hatched in greed, and speaking volumes. Would you let us know what actions we subscribers, paid and free, can take to bolster the lean on Chris, Hamish & Jairaj? A global subscriber petition with a threat to cancel/drop out? Emails to the owners, if you are able to provide their addresses? Suggestions appreciated.

You can just copy the letter and send it them from your substack email address, if you like. They are all their names @substack.com.
