This platform is boring without HVR!
We had such a great community for both writers and readers where everyone received the attention their deserved, but some people just came and ruined it for everyone.
It’s kinda ironic how the very same people he hlped grow and provided support for turned against him and were disgustingly mean to him.
I don’t understand exactly what happened as the whole drama is away from my feed but i’m so disappointed right now. I’ve seen nothing from him but good vibes and goofiness, and received nothing but kindness and support, and so many people can vouch for this. The ones who tried to taint his image and ruin this space for him, know that it’s only a reflection of your rottenness, how pathetic of you to meet his kindness with such despicable behaviours. There is a difference between disagreeing with someone or having a conflict with them which leads to blocking then moving on with your life, AND starting false rumours to keep spreading bad talk and posting weird stuff for the sake of hurting and ruining someone’s hard work.
Substack has become such a weird place lately, so many abusers getting a platform to express freely their harmful opinions, and it’s the good people paying for it.
I’m truly disgusted by this, and I don’t I usually never post things like this or try to get involved in people’s lives. But I’m speaking up because he is a dear friend of mine and I would hold him accountable if he did something wrong, but I can’t see how he could’ve done anything to deserve such treatment and especially not having anyone stand up for him when he stood up for so many of us before.
You can report, block me, or even fight me in the comments, I don’t care. This space has become nothing but a source of negativity and abuse for those who already suffered so much and needed a gentle space to thrive. I tried so hard to keep this place a warm and supportive community for my subscribers and my fellow writers, but I can’t ignore the pain of one of my first and dearest friends here.
Anyways i’m not trying to start arguments, I won’t be answering those who want to start a fight because as I said I don’t care.
I’m not trying to drag anyone into this, the tagging is only so that the post gets seen by as many people in our community as possible. Also tagging some of the people he used to tag a lot, please don’t take offence:
