They've addressed this and removed these nazis fascists. Every social media company has run into this problem and IMO substack has handled it better than most. And FWIW I have a backup on Ghost if you go there you can find my content there as a back up.
Well, I have been on the fence about Andrew Yang for several years now, but Mark Cuban and Scott Galloway seem to be supporters of it and certainly that whole market could use a bit of an upset. Worth looking into, for sure!
Sounds good. It's encouraging to see a company like this enter the marketplace. My monthly bill with Ting, however, is less than $30/month so Noble wouldn't save me any money. Not sure about Ting's policies re data sharing. I will look into it and if they don't measure up to Noble, I'll switch immediately.
My problem with changing cell carriers is the fact that all towers/networks are owned by T-Moble (who Noble Mobile rents bandwidth from), AT&T or Verizon. So, consumers subscribed to any "alternative carriers" are still paying the big three. This is another example of vertical integration (like AOC's recent yt about CVS) eliminating consumer choice. When you pay through an alternate carrier, you're also deprioritized for usage access so your calls, texts and emails are even more delayed than what you can sometimes experience with paying directly to Verizon, AT&T or T-Moblile. If you need to make emergency calls, this is something else to consider.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of being able to get free of this kind of consumer exploitation/manipulation but the market makes it difficult to impossible. Corporations have arranged a lot of gluttonous comfort for their operators over the last 60 years or so.
I have learned that even if it can’t be 100% , decreaing their income even 25 % , it’s still a big hit . T mobile won’t make anywhere near as much , and that’s enough for me right now .
I would also remind those who seek to "spread the news" not to use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. as these are owned by billionaires undermining our humanity. I suggest Fediverse sources to use instead.
I'm not high tech, but there are ways to directly impact those who have "power." And, we have the power to challenge them!
For the past several weeks I am unable to access Substack Reader online as I have always done in the past. The Support feature for Substack has not resolved this problem per my many requests. Can you use your influence to implore Substack to fix this issue?
Please help. Your site is trying to charge me for a subscription I don’t have and cannot manage because I don’t have any paid subscriptions. Received emails of “Your payment for Let's Address This with Qasim Rashid was unsuccessful”. Need to remove my payment information as well. Sorry about this long post but Substack support is not working
This is nothing to do with this post. I was recently charged for a new subscription, which is fine. I would like to see the time period for how long the subscription is. I can't find my account history.
Please, be so kind to tell me where it is. Thank you.
Sure. Please email me so I can look up the account. It should’ve given you a week notice before renewing. Happy to return the funds without delay. Don’t want to be a burden for any reason.
I haven’t looked into it yet but I am interested and looking to learn on reducing reliance on the big carriers who are surveilling or have backdoors for others to do so.
Ohhhhh this looks so good ! Thank you .🙏🏼
T-Mobile doesn't work so well here, and they serve other rural areas via Starlink (Musk's company)
What can we do about this? So many of us rely on Substack. Has anyone here used Ghost?
“Don't support Substack, it is backed by Venture Capital en permits far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism! See if you can use alternatives like Ghost. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/feb/07/revealed-how-substack-makes-money-from-hosting-nazi-newsletters”
I did a lot of reporting early on and no longer see that content. I do think they took aggressive steps to remove hate speech.

I am very interested. Live where sometimes cells are spotty. I will research.
Lmk how it goes!

Definitely worth checking out.
But what about getting a new phone with it cause mine is in real bad shape?
I believe they'll have new phone options later this year but for now you'd want to use the phone you have and keep your number.

I'm in complete agreement to switch to those sources not manipulated by the corporations undermining our democracy.
I would also point out about Substack and its relationship with the far-right. Please see the link:

How does it compare with Credo (socially conscious phone companyI) besides being cheaper?
Also, what network does it run on? I am concerned about coverage where I live.
Not sure about Credo. Runs on the TMobile network.

Much appreciated, LOK

I am curious if you found a similar morally aligned internet company. Have you?
Isn’t Noble Mobil part of T-Mobil? I read T-Mobil has partnered with Musk’s satellite company.
No - it rents t mobile towers .
I haven’t looked into it yet but I am interested and looking to learn on reducing reliance on the big carriers who are surveilling or have backdoors for others to do so.
Not yet but always open to possibilities.
Keep going Qasim.
I pay $180/year with Mint Mobile, also uses T-Mobile network but is separate company.
