should I read something that is shared via #medium?

no, because:

''To make Medium work, we log user data and share it with processors. To use Medium, you must agree to our Privacy Policy.''

pls leave stop giving support to those venture capitalist @Gargron

@paulfree14 if only the character limit were increased – then we could just write our blog posts on Mastodon! 😄

@kensanata @paulfree14 You know what to do, don't you :)

@ckeen @paulfree14 move to Gopher!?

@kensanata @paulfree14 Host your own instance with an increased post limit...

@ckeen @paulfree14 Yeah, maybe Eugen should post on Pleroma because I heard the character limit is much higher… 😜

@ckeen @paulfree14 @kensanata "Blogging" opens a whole new can of worms compared to the microblog format. Suddenly, people will want formatting and inline media and other things that don't fit into the narrow pane streaming display format.
In that regard, I think Gargon is right with keeping Mastodon intentionally limited.
