I feel the same way. I love Substack. Let’s see how they handle this.

If they side with this letter, I fear they’ll get pressure from investors who subscribe to the Techno-optimist manifesto which vaguely states,

“Our enemy is the ivory tower, the know-it-all credentialed expert worldview, indulging in abstract theories, luxury beliefs, social engineering, disconnected from the real world, delusional, unelected, and unaccountable – playing God with everyone else’s lives, with total insulation from the consequences.

Our enemy is speech control and thought control – the increasing use, in plain sight, of George Orwell’s “1984” as an instruction manual.”

It may be Substack leaders also subscribe to this. 🤷‍♂️
