We need the left to come to broadly understand Big Tech as our enemy, the way they see us. And we need to start organizing accordingly, and build up alternatives to render their services irrelevant.

So, what's the deal with the word "rad" and bikes?

Looking at it more positively, even if the campaign against Substack didn't kill them, or even render their name irredeemably toxic on the left, it created space for competitors and interrupted the consolidation of Substack's brand as a synonym for all blogs.

First Hassan, now Klippenstein. Real bummer to see a new wave of leftists not merely sticking by Substack, but hitching their wagons to it from the start.

@ernie @Klaxun And beyond that, are ideologically committed to Silicon Valley's increasingly reactionary flavor of libertarianism.
