New York Times Journalist Rage Quits Substack Over Inability To Censor Everything He Deems 'Hate Speech' And 'Extremism'

A cancel culture activist behind a far-left, pro-censorship movement of Substack writers is rage quitting from the platform, after he failed to push the company in the direction of full-blown "Content moderation".

Platformer, a Substack newsletter with over 173,000 subscribers, announced Thursday that they are quitting the platform and moving to Ghost.

Platform's founder, Casey Newton, a leftist journalist who hosts a podcast with The New York Times, has spent recent weeks advancing the false idea that Substack is inundated with a nazi and antisemitism problem.

The two core accusations from both Platformer and The Atlantic were that Substack was *profiting* off of Nazis and that the problem was truly out of control.

All of these apparent "Nazi platforms" had a grand combined total of about 100 readers, and none of them had a single paid subscriber, according to a letter from the cofounders of Substack.

After Newton failed to deceive Substack into changing its policies, he proceeded to rage quit the platform.

Newton and his comrades couldn't get Substack to accommodate their ideology, so he's rage quitting to another platform that will.
