@rysiek @kas a) Medium is federated
b) the article is about why I won't set up on +new+, unfederated services, not why I'm ragequitting
c) Everything I write - 5-7 essays/week - are open access (CC BY you can republish them, including commercially) at pluralistic.net, and mirrored to Medium. I write one Medium column every week, which is Medium-only, and pays my mortgage.
It's OK if you want to skip that column, but I think it's hard to characterize my publishing program as ungenerous.
