I know that most of our digital tools are controlled by awful billionaires and it's almost impossible for us to divest ourselves of all of them. But I think that X and Substack are so horribly toxic that everyone should avoid them as much as possible.

I think it's not really so hard, especially in the ensh*tification epoch. (Maybe excepting basics like telephony and email.) We just tell ourselves it is because we don't really want to leave them.

Genuine question as someone who doesn't use it, is Substack as a company worse than Meta (Instagram/Facebook), Tiktok, and/or YouTube? Have any of them banned his content and similar stuff to what Substack hosts?

It is not "almost impossible" to divest ourselves of damaging tech. I never even got a cellphone. I have two things that generate data and are connected to the internet, a laptop and a smart TV, and they are not synced. Tech addiction is like smoking. You convince yourself that you need that crap.
