      I’m very self aware we do not allow blog sites.

      It’s a very, very simple rule. Blogger? No. Medium? No. Substack? Also absolutely not.

      We treat them no differently than we do social media like Twitter, X, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

      Do legitimate news sources have accounts there? Absolutely. We don’t allow them either.

      If it’s actual news, link to an actual news site, not a blog and not social media.

      Don’t like that rule? Tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry. Go make your own community and enjoy the flood of blogspam.

        Lol classico power tripping.

        Glad you at least acknowledge that now.

          I said that a week ago, do try to keep up.

          "No, I’m saying they share a host with bullshit news sites. Until they divest from Substack, they’re off limits with the rest of Substack.

          Just like NBC, posting to Twitter gets removed, because we aren’t hosting Twitter bullshit."

            Jeez, I compliment your improvement and you’re still tripping. I get that your ruling is arbitrary. Substack, blog. Wordpress.com, not blog. You’re the boss.

              It’s not arbitrary. Arbitrary would be allowing one substack page and not allowing another, that’s a debate we will not be having.

              To sum up:

              1. “My source is special!” - No, it’s not, fuck off.
              2. “I’m a special snowflake!” - No, you aren’t, fuck off!
              3. “You’re a power tripping bastard!” - No, you just can’t handle simple rules, written in plain English. For the last time, FUCK OFF!
