@wion @remotenemesis well, I think there is a need for a place where people can post a long article without having a blog of their own. In as far as Medium was able to provide that, I liked it. But everything else on top of that was unnecessary. This BoingBoing post lists a few alternatives I like. https://boingboing.net/2017/03/14/minimalist-web-publishing-plat.html
Brutalist blogging platforms!!
