What are your thoughts on Medium.com?

I have a self hosted blog currently, and I'm considering posting it on medium.com

I blog mostly for fun and I have not tried to monetize it. Are there any reasons to not use medium?

What about alternatives like substack?

The cool thing about substack is that it's part of a community of writers. Especially with the "notes" aspect.

How's that different from medium?

Well, on substack, that community of writers includes nazis who are able to monetize their hate through that platform. So, if that's what you're looking for...

Does Medium have a platform where writers and readers can all talk to each other? Substack has "notes", their twitter clone.

Ahh, I thought you meant like literal notes at first. I understand now. Thanks! :)
