What risky move did Lulu make?

Lulu Cheng Meservey made a risky move during her leave by openly discussing a controversial topic on a thread dedicated to free speech. This was risky because the topic had already generated significant public anger, posing a risk to her reputation and potentially to the company's credibility if things went wrong. However, this move turned out to be well-received by those most likely to engage with Substack, as they generally valued the stance on free speech 1 .
