Publish on medium?

I instantly close your post.

The reason people publish on Medium is that it comes with a large, eager to read, audience.

People see numbers of visitors in Medium that they don't see when they post on their personal websites...

So, unless you also come and check people's personally hosted blogs, and convince millions to do the same, don't let the door hit you on your way out when you "instantly close" Medium posts...

Not sure why but I expect a big storm when Medium does something "outrageous"/"politically incorrect" and then people would move in mass. We need to calculate teh cost of a possible migration in the future, what happens if you delete your account in protest or they will delete it for you.

I use RSS feeds to monitor all of these.
