Today, Medium is launching a Mastodon instance at me.dm to help our authors, publications and readers find a home in the fediverse. Mastodon is an emerging force for good in social media and we are excited to join this community.

Nice. Medium is a blog-type site, right? Wish they mentioned if they were working on having the blogs be federated.

They won't because their business model is exactly the opposite. They host your blog but then only allow viewers to read like 5 articles per month until they have to pay a subscription. Or something like that, it's one of those deeply annoying websites that I don't understand why anyone uses it.

Contrary to what the title suggests, it sounds like they aren't actually planning on implementing ActivityPub on medium itself, but rather they are just launching a new medium-branded mastodon instance. 🥱
