A curious thing about First Amendment free speech cases: they often feature quite unsympathetic speakers, usually vindicating the free speech rights of these assholes.

The point is that viewpoint discrimination by the state is prohibited. Vile speech is as protected as righteous speech.

Okay but seriously - is Substack's algorithm THAT good, or did all the wholesome souls of the internet somehow find their way here?!

This place is filled with people being sensitive, writing their souls out, painting their days, slowing down, finding magic in nature...

I think we're onto something here. Could we maybe rebuild the world like this? Just asking for a friend.

NO, I don’t want to “learn how to grow my substack account.”

Let’s stop turning social platforms into a constant reminder that we’re never doing enough.
