Deepstate are interfering with your results proving your doing a good job

There has been a concerted effort by leftists and other morons to gravitate into Substack to purposely disrupt the freedom of it all.

I used to read some of the News offerings but quickly realized it was really disgusting propaganda.

I was surprised and disappointed, to say the least…it was hating on Trump, it was cancel culture, it was mentally-deficient women and man-bun wearers slathering on about blm and the rest of the alphabet slop…anyways, I stick to Notes to read the works of people like yourself: offers of intelligent, thought-provoking, current, random acts of actual writing.

I'm glad you are staying. - I can only afford to subscribe to one a year at the moment unfortunately but as soon as my other subscription comes to an end I intend to subscribe to you. I've always wondered whether putting more work behind a paywall might act as an incentive for people to subscribe in order to be able to read them?

Good news that you’ll be staying! We’ll keep reading you. You are often a herald things others have paid attention to yet and the change in Substack may well be one of them. I’ll see what Dan Wootton’s tribe are thinking about it as he’s been here a while now,

Glad, you're staying, David. Your posts are greatly appreciated. I suspect censorship is everywhere these days in the form of algorithms which allow certain content whist subtly hiding others. Twitter used to be famous for shadow banning. We'd be naive to think Substack does not do something similar, if maybe not in the blue-haired, nose-ringed loony lefty levels of fanaticism that Twitter was pre-Musk. Who knows what the rules are anymore.

I appreciate your writing and I’m glad you are staying.

I wish I could afford to be a paying subscriber but I’m a pensioner and 2 months of my pension goes straight to my Council tax

I was born mid 70s to a big family but the old man left my ma with 7 kids so I'm part of the underclass and have never been involved nor allowed to be so everything that's happening now makes me chuckle as my family was demonised in our class system so fuck England let it rot...

The next step is obvious - create another account and persona, then publish everything on each account. And if they do repeat their censorship, ask your followers to do the same…

Breath David…….

……in the words of the Bard, “Consider it not so deeply”.

Keep writing for your own satisfaction, if it’s decent - which it is - the rest will surely follow.

If it is isn’t then at least you’re giving your brain a good workout.

David, if we treat all platforms as being controlled in one way or another, that would be a good measure of reality. They wouldn’t allow outspoken speakers, truthful narratives and debunking of their ideologies (aka climate change, pandemics etc) to reach too many of the populace. They always want to ‘control the game’. Knowing that we can do our best to circumvent and expand free speech and thoughts to as many as possible. ‘It riles them to believe that we perceive the web they weave’…..

Funnily enough I've noticed a slow down on engagement over the last few months, definitely since Labour took power, here in the UK. I don't care though, I have the common law right to speak freely and the international human right of Freedom of Expression and intend to use it.
