It's fine if you dislike a site. But the correct thing to do is not consume their content, not to work around it.
Medium is the journalistic version of the gig economy apps, mixed with a bit of digital landlording. The correct thing to do here is to bypass any of Mediums paywalls you might run in to.
This wasn't even paywalled, I just don't like Medium.
I abhor medium, but run across it a little while researching cybersecurity shit. I had no idea scribe.rip existed, so thanks for the plug.
Or use a browser extension to implement your preferences rather than push them onto others in a way that makes it harder for them to implement theirs.
If an article links to medium.com my redirects kick in, my link flagging kicks in and everything else. If everyone uses some different service to "fix" medium I am stuck with what they like. There is valuable to keeping the canonical URL.
I would also love to see domain blocks as a user preference in Lemmy. Just hide these sites that I don't like.
Please use scribe.rip instead of medium.com for articles
