I announced my podcast. I was immediately censored.
This is my reality.
*Trigger Warning* Censorship, imperialism, racism, patriarchy
I launched my long awaited anti-imperialist podcast this last Saturday Oct 29, 2022. It’s called “Shmashup”, referring to smashing both the patriarchy and the empire. The name also refers to the process of making a podcast — combining different thoughts / people / voices and editing it all together. “Shmashup” is me creating something out of the destruction of imperialism.
I published the announcement video on YouTube and other platforms and Shmashup was finally live!
The next thing I knew, Substack was censoring me. They said I “potentially” violated their terms of use.
They didn’t say what the “violation” was except vague language about my email list. Except that everyone on my Substack list subscribed themselves. I didn’t add anyone.
But it doesn’t matter what I did or didn’t do. It never does.
