As I explained earlier over on Substack I have decided to move the newsletter and website hosting ~~back to Buttondown~~ to ~~Beehiiv~~ [Ghost.org](https://ghost.org/?ref=katecarruthers.com) due to Substack's stance on Nazis.

Here is some background on the matter for those who are not familiar: [Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content](https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/21/24011232/substack-nazi-moderation-demonetization-hamish-mckenzie?ref=katecarruthers.com) (Lawler, The Verge, Dec 2023). This position is antithetical to my own stance, which is that Nazis (and their fellow travellers) are always bad and we should never give them a platform and certainly not help them to monetise their activities. FYI - I have migrated all subscribers and archives back to Buttondown and have deleted all content there except my last post which is titled "Substack and Nazis. You can't be just a little bit Nazi..."

And, here is the tale, via [Michael B. Tager](http://www.michaelbtager.com/?ref=katecarruthers.com) (a.k.a. BlueSky: [@IamRageSparkle](https://bsky.app/profile/iamragesparkle.bsky.social?ref=katecarruthers.com); Instagram: [@IamRageSparkle)](https://www.instagram.com/iamragesparkle/?ref=katecarruthers.com), of how you don't end up with a Nazi bar: [Bartender Savagely Kicks A Polite Nazi Customer Out Of His Bar And Explains Why It’s Important To Do So.](https://www.boredpanda.com/bar-bartender-nazi-punk-iamragesparkle/?ref=katecarruthers.com)

**UPDATE 9 Jan 2024:** Not enough IMHO! Lawler, R. (2024, January 9). *Substack is going to remove five Nazi newsletters*. The Verge.
