The last few days as important articles have appeared on Medium, I've been posting pointers to them without gritting my teeth. As much.

Right now we have bigger fish to fry than whether or not the blogging world is getting overly and unwisely centralized. 

On the other hand if they would open their server to update pings, we could have a real network, and allay the fears that free writing is a little too easy to shut down.

PS: I wrote up the problem when I turned off my feed to Medium.
