...well, not like I was planning to move my blog (that nobody reads) to a Neocities page... that might be the final push.

On another matter: I think the right approach is to pressure governments to make hate discourses illegal. Yes, it's tempting to screech 'DEPLATFORM!', and short-term effective, but

  1. It's a stop-gap measure; eventually they migrate to another platform. We shouldn't be playing whack-a-mole with this shit.
  2. If you give power to a private entity, to get rid of harmful content (like hate speech), eventually it'll remove non-harmful content when it gets some benefit out of it. Cue to recent events regarding the payment mafia and NSFW games.

Indeed. The only way to move forward are decentralized and federated protocols that resist censorship by design.

With that in mind, check out Ghost as a better replacement for Substack. They have experimental ActivityPub integration too.
