By now I imagine anybody who cares has seen the various sides of the Substack hosting Nazis discourse on here. But if they haven’t, here are what I take to be the key texts, in order of publication:

  • “Substack Has a Nazi Problem,” Jonathan M. Katz

  • “Substack shouldn’t decide what we read,” an open letter hosted by Elle Griffin

  • “Substackers Against Nazis,” an open letter hosted by Marisa Kabas (and many, many others)

  • A note from Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie

Do I have an opinion on this? Kind of.… You can read on if you want it.
