Thanks, Harold! I do not trust Medium and was unsure if other users feel the same. Medium banned thought-provoking, exceptional writers who questioned the white woke movement, cancel culture, and identity politics.

An influx of pro-war commenters emerged when the Russia-Ukraine war began and threatened or reported writers who disagreed with the narrative. Fewer dissenting essays appeared in the newsfeed, which intensified when Israel's slaughter of Palestine began.

It's been frustrating because few media outlets offer a space to discuss and learn more than one version of events. Medium could have been an outlier that fostered diverse perspectives instead of becoming another distrustful social media site.
