I have a question for you as an experienced substacker. If a writer has a clearly antisemitic comment on an old entry is that a sign that they tolerate the comment? Can a substacker view a repellent comment and purge it from their article or block the person from commenting? Or is this not possible? I reported the comment and saw it was from a person I had previously blocked. The article is old. I planned on subscribing but won’t if the person tolerates antisemitism or bigotry of any kind. I’m asking you because you are the person I have the most exchanges with here.

well, jeez...I don't know that I'm that experienced! I'm pretty sure people can delete old comments. There could be various reasons they might not—including not seeing it (people have notifications set up in different ways, and of course might just miss it even if notified.)

I doubt seeing an antisemitic comment on a substack would in itself be enough to make me not subscribe? fwiw.
