One of the organizers of the SAN campaign, Marisa Kabas, also gives away the game in her latest post (and seemingly last, as she announces at the end that she too is leaving Substack):
"Substack is still not protecting its publishers and users against dangerous white supremacist content, and it’s certainly not protecting them against transphobic content—an issue that was raised by a group of trans publishers two years ago."

The full body revulsion I feel at that use of “protecting.” Lady, I am not a child, I am not harmed by encountering ideas I disagree with on the internet, and even if someone else’s ideas were capable of harming me I am perfectly able to take steps to prevent that harm, including not reading said content or even - gasp - not using a particular platform. Good lord.

When did the phrase “Bye, Felicia” go out of currency? This whole eventstream just feels like the ALL-CAPSiest Usenet Flounce of the decade.
