Wow, Substack's new Notes feature is barely 72(?) hours old and it's already about to become a shitshow over content moderation. Impressive.
@XaoslordErie I need to read this whole interview, but the bit where the guy just refuses to say they would cut out blatantly racists posts was...something.

@JammerJim Nobody could see this coming. Nope. Definitely not.
@JammerJim Weird thing is, I gave it a look, and even though I'm an old timer (netnews aged), I couldn't really get a handle on how it worked. Unless I wanted to subscribe to everyone's email newsletters, most of which wanted to charge me.
And some newbies find CoSo confusing? Geeze.
@kay_dub I haven't foggiest idea how the thing works if you don't subscribe to newsletters. I assumed I could see and post because I was a paying subscriber to a couple.
And a former Usenet person! Wow. Don't run into a lot of those.
@JammerJim
Imagine that.
