Substack is starting to censor its dissidents (updated - Stegiel has been unbanned)
In other words they no longer hold to their own policies
Although I, nor my blog, have so far been censored I will be backing up this blog elsewhere on the website address that is in my header. At the moment that address just points here. I’ll do that as quickly as I can, but 7-10 days is likely how long it will take to complete.

The first instance that I came across of Substack’s new censorship policies was from Stegiel’s Substack;
His blog is still there even if he can’t comment on it although there are other places that he can do that. I can confirm that all of his posts to my blog have been filtered by Substack into my blog’s Substack spam folder (which I’ve only recently found). There’s nothing wrong with Stegiel’s blog, in fact it’s a very good one. Even more active now as he reacts to the banning by pushing out even more information.

There was a previous link here but I’ve deleted it as it looks like there are games being played. I will investigate further.

This is what Substack says about it’s moderation decisions.
I have not yet found any other banned Substacks but if you have please bring them to my attention and I will add them in here.

The first of these reports is that increasingly substackers are going to the Substack spam folder. And it certainly seems like it might have something to do with Proton Mail as I’ve seen a few mentions of that now. Pierre Kory is mentioned as one substacker who is going to the spam folder. But as above Stegiel is also suffering from this. (Thanks Jacquelyn).

This is not a good sign that Substack is going to remain a bastion of free speech. In fact they’ve already failed on that front.
The times are getting more and more interesting... This tells me that while it is not a happy thing for we, the People, censorship tightening is a sign that the tide is definitely turning... for TRUTH. I also have protonmail, and of course, it flags itself as a one of the "Good Guys," but it's difficult to hide the fact that you are censoring people, if you are censoring people. SO, we have to carry on, not resisting the evil, but WORKING AROUND IT. I think that the ultimate goal, of mine, anyway, is to connect with people IN OUR COMMUNITIES, IN REAL LIFE, and I am NOT saying it's not important to be able to find out what's going on... But maybe, in the long run, this will be a good thing, in a way. We'll figure out how to do what needs doing, because that's what we do. We humans are a tenacious lot, and we are very smart, very resourceful, clever, BRILLIANT, and determined... EYES ON THE PRIZE. Let's get out into Real Life, as it were, and connect... Because you KNOW that is the thing that frightens the Bad Guys the most. Onward.
I am noticing various folks are ending up in my spam since last week or so, I use protonmail so it could be related to that. But def more spams to rescue now, Pierre Korys page among them. Hmm..
And seems I am having reduced notices in general, for how many folks I sub to. We should take the inclusion as a highly esteemed shill doc E R I C T O P A L......(already months ago) as a sign Substack had to make concessions to the TNI. That was a warning shot to me that only a few took seriously.
I am consoled slightly by the fact that they may have missed their window, and cats are out of bags now wrt the injected illnesses. Sharpen your shovel.
