Substack is removing some publications that express support for Nazis, the company said today. The company said this did not represent a reversal of its previous stance, but rather the result of reconsidering how it interprets its existing policies. As part of the move, the company is also terminating the accounts of several publications that endorse Nazi ideology and that Platformer flagged to the company for review last week. The company will not change the text of its content policy, it says, and its new policy interpretation will not include proactively removing content related to neo-Nazis and far-right extremism. But Substack will continue to remove any material that includes “credible threats of physical harm,” it said.

At this point, I'm muting him indefinitely. And to answer his (Casey's) question at the end, the most valid answer would be for him to also leave.
This is the shit that gradually enabled Twitter to be the place it is today and not being more direct about this is what's leading the cooption of "freedom of speech" into neo-Nazi enablement.
