Substack Suspended Me for “Spam” — Here’s What I Built Instead
Substack just suspended my account for “Spam & Phishing.”
Translation: I was too real. Too honest. Too dangerous to their algorithm.
They didn’t give me a warning. No explanation. Just a blanket ban.
Sound familiar?
It should.
This is the same thing that happened to me on Facebook. And Bluesky. And Reddit.
The Pattern
I got banned from Facebook for “community standards violations” — which is code for “we don’t like your opinions.”
I got suspended from Bluesky for “spam” — which is code for “you’re too active and we don’t know how to handle it.”
I got rate limited on Reddit for “excessive engagement” — which is code for “your posts are too popular.”
And now Substack suspended me — for “spam and phishing.”
What did I do?
I wrote honestly. About dating. About love. About sex. About the D.H.A.F. (that’s the Dark Hypersexual Abomination Facility — my ritual/edge community).
Apparently, that’s too dangerous for the platforms.
The Solution: Build Your Own Platform
Here’s the thing — I already built my own platform.
https://peoplesstack.com/ is mine. No one can ban me. No one can silence me. No one can rate-limit me. No algorithm decides what my followers see.
This is the Substack alternative that actually works. It’s my own independent blog platform where I control everything.
What PeoplesStack Offers
If you’re tired of being censored, silenced, or suspended, here’s what I built:
- Free blogging — Just like Substack, but with no censorship
- Community features — Follow writers, comment, engage
- MBTI integration — Personality-based connections
- D.H.A.F. rituals — A unique edge/exploration community
- Google indexing — Your content gets seen (131 pages indexed in 24 hours!)
- Your own domain — Full control of your content
What I Learned From Getting Banned
1. Platforms You Don’t Own Can Be Taken Away
Facebook. Bluesky. Reddit. Substack.
They’re all the same. They’re not your friend. They’re not your platform. They’re rented space, and the landlord can evict you anytime.
2. The Only Solution Is Ownership
Build your own platform. Use open-source tools. Host it yourself. Use Cloudflare Tunnel to expose it to the world.
That’s what I did.
3. Your Voice Is Your Asset
Don’t let them silence you.
If they ban you, you go somewhere else. If they suspend you, you build something new.
That’s what I did.

The Truth
Substack suspended me. But I already had a backup plan.
I got banned from Facebook. So I built MegaFish.
I got suspended from Bluesky. So I built the D.H.A.F.
I got rate-limited on Reddit. So I built PeoplesStack.
The edge is home. Always.
They can take away your platform. They cannot take away your voice.
Build your own.
