"Back in April Substack founder/CEO Chris Best gave an interview to Nilay Patel
in which he refused to answer some fairly basic questions about how the company
planned to handle trust & safety issues on their new Substack Notes
microblogging service. As I noted at the time, Best seemed somewhat confused
about how all this worked, and by refusing to be explicit in their policies he
was implicitly saying that Substack welcomed Nazis. As we noted, this was the
classic “Nazi bar” scenario: if you’re not kicking out Nazis, you get the
reputation as “the Nazi bar” even if you, yourself, don’t like Nazis."
