The most frustrating part is, it's so easy to say "take that shit somewhere else" when you run a bar or a website or any other group. That's literally your job when you create a space like that. I've seen people do it. I've done it. It's so fucking easy. You just go, "get out." And then they do. They have to. It's your place!

Anyone who says it's not easy is lying, and it's usually because they don't want it taken someplace else. They like it right where it is.

@fraying What's frustrating to me is that Substack at launch was courting / paying assholes to use their platform. Most people only even heard of them because they were suddenly home to Andy Ngo, and other assholes. Yet people still signed up to publish there.

I have no sympathy for anyone who publishes on Substack who suddenly finds themselves needing to find a new provider.

@fraying The most frustrating part to me, besides all the others, is how they act like what they *think* ("Oh demonetization makes it worse!") seems to be more important than what we know about extremism in social spaces (i.e. deplatforming works)

@fraying Exactly! The right to free association includes the right to with whom to associate.

Its easy. I’m not lying. I ran a BBS in the 1990s and have been blogging (with comments enabled) since 2003. I don’t take shit. I toss offensive people out. I delete their crap, I ban them, I block them. Anything I have to do to get rid of them. It’s my show and my rules. Easy peasy. xkcd.com/1357/
