@budgibson I'm still waiting for the day when @medium will start to compete in #ActivityPub land. Currently they are doing the bare minimum, running mostly unmodified Mastodon. But surely they know that Mastodon's defaults are not what entices their main userbase to use https://me.dm server.
There are even low-hanging fruits, like using #MastodonBirdUI for the Medium server, as that is just copy-pasting the CSS to the admin panel. But they've not done that either.
