@BenSouthwood I use both and I don’t know the answer to your other questions 🤣
@leeS … this is the one.
@leeS I understand .. tho I would have left Twitter long before Substack. Will find another thread from today to share that relates.
@leeS how did you see that hate speech?
@bradenslen we can also get our kicks on Route 66 likes over on the like sites.
@bradenslen the up down vote is akin to the unlike button in my head …
@bradenslen actually i read just yesterday that there is an algo floating around .. need to learn more.
I think my main point is most of what substack pushed out is email to inboxes … if I don’t subscribe i don’t get ..
Then in the app you can follow, mute and block
The only way you accidentally see stuff is on their main notes timeline … and in there i have never seen anything.
Happy to learn more if others know different.
@lzbth yup .. not advocating for that .. and i am pretty sure that as long as Manton is in charge … that is will be ‘the way’
@bradenslen extra thoughts on bullying …
To which Kottke writes …
and what JK writes I have read similar … often. I read Substackers a lot and never ever come across anything that hits that description. Though according to people I read - they are there.
The difference is that I get a choice on Substack - and if i choose not to follow those accounts - I don’t see them. (Or at least I assume that is how it s working.)
In fact you would have to use the app to actually see any of that stuff … and if my stats are anyting to go by - their app readership is a very small percentage of the email subscriptions ….
Here’s the question … is JK bullying? Just pointing stuff out? Trying to ‘out them’? Back them down?
What do you (and anyone else) think is going on?
