A reminder, so people don’t forget. Substack unabashedly platforms and promotes literal Nazi publications.

If you publish on Substack or support authors there, you are paying rent for nazis. It’s that simple.

Refuse to support authors there, and they will move.

2023. November 28: The Atlantic publishes expose of Substack, citing their “nazi problem.” December 21: Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie says nazis are welcome because he’s too fucking stupid to equate nazism with violence. Quote: “We don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away. Our content guidelines do have narrowly defined proscriptions, including a clause that prohibits incitements to violence.”2025. July 28: Substack’s mobile app sends push notification promoting the nazi publication NatSocToday. July 28: Substack apologizes for glitch, but not for platforming nazis.

Including NatSocToday. Screenshot of a terminal command and results, showing that the nazi site is live as of February 6, 2026 at 6:56 GMT.
