So, op-eds from main stream media are allowed, but journalists publishing their work through substack is not allowed. So, only the establishment is allowed to have their voices heard. Got it. Quite the hill to die on @jordanlund

We don't care who is publishing on Substack. The platform as a whole is not a news source.

That's increasingly a not very nuanced or serious stance to hold given that actual journalists and columnists do publish on substack, especially those that are trying to break away from billionaire controlled "news sources" with owners that are actually interfering in editorial and reporting decisions. Do you remove all op-eds from your "news sources"? If not, you're saying billionaire-controlled "news sources" are legitimate, but not independent journalists and columnists with actual bona fides, including having been part of establishment media or worked in government previously. The internet has destroyed journalism, seems wrong to tune out those who are trying to put it together again.

They do, but we aren't going to go through, blog by blog, separating the wheat from the chaff then getting into arguments of "But, but, you allow THIS Substack blog, why not miiiiinne!"
Nope. Not having that discussion.
Blog sites, Substack, Medium, Blogger, etc. do NOT have the same journalistic standards as news articles, they don't have journalistic standards to speak of, and are not accepted. Full stop.
