   "Substack CEO Chris Best said he didn't want to "engage in speculation" about statements like “all brown people are animals.""

   Given another opportunity to answer correctly by the interviewer, “You know this is a very bad response to this question, right? You’re aware that you’ve blundered into this. You should just say no. And I’m wondering what’s keeping you from just saying no,"

   He declined.

   So, fuck him. And fuck his site.

   I'll NEVER use Substack. #BlackMastodon

     #Trans people warned us all a few years ago when #Substack decided that paying six figures to anti-trans bigots banned from most places was a clever marketing tactic.

     Look at the TOS for any "free speech" platform & see if they allow #porn or #sex workers Substack bans both. Turns out their "#freespeech" is just for rapists & fascists, & making $ on consensual sex is out of bounds.
