Can't really agree with that sentiment. If I look at some other Substack pages (Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi come to mind), the comments are so flooded with fringe-y, rage-filled comments it's difficult to get anything out of them.
That's the paradox of content moderation. If you leave things unmoderated, virtually any online community will turn into a sewer. But moderation against anything is a slippery slope towards a more manicured but more horrifying dystopia.

A paradox for sure. Far better a starting point than most others
Yes, I believe a paradox is what it is.
