I could be pedantic and comment on Chris Hedges’, Aaron Mate’s, etc. blatant anticommunism, but it’s true. So long as Substack allows bloggers in countries like Palestine and Venezuela that get banned on Bluesky, Mastodon, and Twitter, most criticism of people utilizing it is moot. It’s Patreon blogspot. Do we trust them? Of course not.
Substack is not the only website that will host leftist blogs but it is the only one promoting fascism while making money from it. This is a lame excuse that distracts from the issue by attacking the people making the claim rather than the evidence behind the claim.
I don’t like the Guardian either but this is disingenuous.
The Guardian is hardly better, and it would never platform Gabriel Rockhill, Chris Hedges, Aaron Maté, Caitlin Johnstone, Jonathan Cook, Ben Norton, Kit Klarenberg, etc. Nor would it ever platform three of Lemmy’s own leftists, as it currently does.
From The Guardian’s perspective, the real problem is that they and their peers can no longer control the narrative as well as they used to.

Giddy you’re posting again!
Oh sorry for being rude I kind of froze all my computer activity and started over so I forgot to reply to everyone on here until I went back for it
No apology needed! I am just happy to see you again, and hope you are doing well.
