    I haven’t been here since October, didn’t remember Substack having such a bad rep. Then again, last fall feels like decades ago now. Ugh, I got banned from one of my favorite Blahaj communities, too.

    Bloody hell. Welcome back to Lemmy, I guess

      Substack has been promoting and paying Nazis for years? This isn’t a recent thing.

        Oh shit, I remember hearing about a site doing that, but I didn’t realize it was this one, fuck I feel dirty for clicking the link.

        I honestly didn’t know that until I joined Substack and saw for myself.

        I get that there’s no such thing as a perfect online community, but FFS…people reach out and post things hoping for some kind of engaging reply – a human connection – and it’s deflating when all you get is unkind responses.

        Now I remember why I wasn’t so keen on returning to Lemmy. I thought I really missed this place and the people here, you know? I do remember it feeling almost like home for a while, filling that void I felt when I left Reddit during the API exodus. But I see there’s nothing for me here, and it’s time to move on.
