Jesse Singal got the original Substack statement and, sure enough, it's being misleadingly reported by Platformer and others. (https://open.substack.com/pub/jessesingal/p/platformers-reporting-on-substacks).

So it's not quite the 'bending to the Woke' moment that we feared. I suppose the lax mainstream reporting on it though will lead to constant attention from the children's crusade and therefore constant articles and attempts to remove content.

But my confidence in the Substack team has increased, after being initially worried.

Jesse has written another piece which suggests Katz was lying all along

It is a few Substacks that broke the existing rules, nothing more. The mainstream have to report it as a triumph.

I do think they view Substack as a threat. It certainly has more interesting content.
