   @jlori @medium @Gargron

   Well good news about our account deletion policy: I don't see any of that prior history. Current suspended account is definitely a russian spammer suspended for good reason. So IA makes it seem like he had an account and deleted it. Nothing to do then.

     @coachtony @medium @Gargron

     On the Internet Archive you can see the original postings about #Mastodon (now in the Mastodon Blog)
     https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://medium.com/@Gargron

     But in any case, it is in the hands of @Gargron

     Thank you.

     @jlori @medium @Gargron

     It's suspended because it's a Russian spammer posing as him. Our policy would release the username to him if he wanted it.

     Our goal is for the me.dm instance to be a valuable home base for many people.

     To that end:

     "We think the mission of Medium — to deepen people’s understanding of the world by helping to share the best ideas and best information — transcends mediums. To date, we’ve focused on article-length writing. It’s how our company got its name: as a home for medium-length writing on the internet."

     "By contrast, Mastodon is primarily for short-form writing of 500 characters or less. Today we are extending what we do into the short-form medium (lowercase m) with an instance on Mastodon, me.dm."

     "Like all new platforms, there is a learning curve. We are especially cognizant that we are joining an existing Mastodon ecosystem which already has 9 million people. This ecosystem has existing community norms that are especially focused on avoiding the toxicity that have plagued other social media platforms."
