#ShowerThought imagine a hybrid blog/wiki platform where the primary author UI is a blog editor, but drafts are saved and versioned as wiki pages. The visitor UI would be a bit like #CoActivate.org, with separate sections for reading blog posts in published order, and for browsing through wiki pages. The wiki could also be private, allowing a trusted group to give feedback on drafts in progress, a la #Medium (do they still have that feature).

@wjmaggos I agree it would be great to see an official #TeamHuman account in the #fediverse, even if it's only reposting from the TH account on the birdsite like #CoryDoctorow does (although the reverse would be better, which is what I do). Even better would be if Doug used something like #WriteAs to publish the text version of the TH monologues directly into the fediverse, as well as posting them on #Medium.

Merdium thrives over good ol' blogs, because it promises to deliver an audience on top of blog post hosting.

The Fediverse can fulfill this promise in a more ethical way if we continue to build it.

Time to withdraw all support for Medium and keep building a better Fediverse instead!

There's some good advice in here about what *not* to do with passphrase policies for online services, and why, with some potentially helpful references. But ultimately I disagree with a lot of Troy's conclusions, because they're biased by what kind of US makes sense to him, a power user with a high level of security knowledge, not a #JoUser. My favourite approach is what #Medium does; they send a login link to your registered email address instead of storing a password.

Over on #Reddit, a user shared a new article from #Medium about why #Angular had caused some poor schmuck to quit #WebDev.

I chimed in with arguing that Angular does suck. Expecting to get challenged (Reddit being a semi-public forum with many different people) I intended to share receipts.

But my comment got deleted when the comment on which I had commented got deleted.

So, without further ado, let me share someone else's insight into why Angular sucks - 1/2

If I ever get around to building that damned publishing app, you'd better believe that downvoting articles is going to be a thing.

The idea that you can only upvote something is hot garbage. #Medium

@fribbledom @starbreaker Reader mode is almost as good an e-ink screen for reading long walls of text. It's saved my sanity of a number of occasions on style heavy sites like #Medium

I'm not sure how much more plainly we can say this, but it bears restating:

Own your own fucking publishing platforms.

Yo #Medium, you didn't *write* the posts, so stop acting like I owe you a login. You are the creepy uncle everyone thought was cool but now won't visit for vacation, so stop inviting me back to your place.

@moonman I went to #medium to read the article, which doesn't happen often.

Sad story. I really felt bad for the penguin.

My last two Medium posts were picked up by HackerNoon. Wondering if and when they'll appear on their front page. #medium #hackernoon

It finally fucking happened. #Medium
