I have been thinking about your question, Ammaprema - thank you for asking it.
At the moment I am remaining on Substack and I will continue to do what I can to bring this issue to the attention of the founders.
I appreciate that this might put you in a difficult position and I am sorry about that. If you're not a paid subscriber, then none of your money will be going to Substack or to the same place as the money from by subscribers to the Nazi newsletters - that may be a consolation and it may not!
I'm also conscious of how impossible it is to live a 'pure' life in this world. Social media companies are certainly not without their flaws, and we read material there all the time. I make decisions which cause small and sometimes bigger harms all the time, and I collude with others causing harm too.
In the end I have to say that it's between you & your conscience. I would be very sorry to lose you as a reader if you do decide to leave Substack, but I would totally understand.
I had no idea about any of this and it makes me so sad. I have been having a lovely experience here and it really has seemed like a positive place filled with good energy. I have also invested a lot of my time and effort in transferring over my newsletter for my business and my lit mag, and starting two others. I really hope I don't have to leave here as well.
Yes me too Amanda. It is also a lovely positive place - but the founders believe in free speech and so that makes certain things more likely... let's see how they respond.
Thanks for your reply Satya. I wonder who runs and owns Substack?
They are listed above (Hamish etc) - you can easily find them on Notes etc.
I do not want to support a platform that supports Nazi propaganda. But I do want to keep following you. Is there a different way.

With warm wishes.
I have a very small list so my leaving would not matter, but I cannot support a platform that allows this.
