I haven’t thanked Subscribers in a while. Thank you for subscribing instead of following me like a troll! Yes, this Substack is free, but it’s a safe space for pro-Democracy sane people!
Diane, I left Facebook during the 2020 election, so much mis and disinformation. It was not an easy thing to do, delete a Facebook and Instagram account. I found that out then. I hope it’s easier now! Some deactivate, I wanted deletion, never looked back!
Likewise for me. I’m trying to report and block some iffy fake profiles on Substack. Deniers and maga trollers . I think they will increase by November. Unbelievable times! 💙
AM I BLUE??? You betcha! I would eat glass before I would vote for the man who talks HATE constantly. Go Blue!! Even my favorite college basketball team is “Big Blue” (UofKentucky!)
I only know that you can (and it’s time-consuming) go one at a time and look on their profile to decide. I look for pro-Democracy names on their list of reads. One time a guy had all maga people listed. I blocked him. It’s such a time consuming thing.
It’s possible to block from public view your “Reads” on your profile. I discovered that on a background check of an over frequent commenter to Thom Hartmann who treats Thom’s Substack as his primary sand box and private turf but shows no “Reads”.
I will sometimes do such a Substack background check before replying to a comment that might appear to be a plant for an argument. Most real trolls are easy to spot. I’ve never done Facebook, Twitter, etc. I have a very separate LinkedIn account, that I basically ignore since retiring, since that platform is supposed to be business oriented, but be warned, business oriented means Republican trending. So I learned background checking there. I actually discovered Substack through Robert Reich who first started posting on LinkedIn and from a friend that recommended Heather Cox Richardson.
Diane K-24: The parameters you set are exactly right; your notes are well-thought out; your positions are well-reasoned and salutary; you have shared of your deep spirituality and empathy. We appreciate your "Blue Notes" very much.
Armand, I always appreciate your comments and posts! Thank you! If all people were like you, we wouldn’t be having a struggle to keep our Democracy standing💙
That too for me as well!
Stay vigilant!

Pamela, Big Blue! Great comment—we are in this together as Joyce says💙🇺🇸💙

Okay, good to know. Thank you. I have looked individually and sometimes I am befuddled as to common interests.
Can we curate our followers on Substack? I would like to be able to approve my followers.

You’re right about business —Republicans love that tool. I love Heather as you know!
VOTING IS leaving a comment!
You are a star! Thank you for such positive messages!
Thanks, Gary💙I don’t want to be a star, just a voice of sanity!
Okay. You are a voice of sanity and integrity.
You’re so kind. Gary!
