You are totally right! 😉
In fact, it's something I'm going to fix soon by simply moving those Medium articles on [my personal website](http://www.tesio.it).
Back then, when I wrote those essays, I had not any better alternative for various reasons.
But sure, I've had a safe web site [since late 2018](http://www.tesio.it/2018/10/03/this-is-simple.html) and I should have moved it before.
Having said that, do you have any actual objection on what I wrote?
I mean... beyond the "[tu quoque](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque)"...
@Shamar Good thing than you plan to move your articjes to your personal site. centralised shit like medium is a part of the problem .
Lately, medium annoyed me a lot¹, so… 😅
1. Been looking at @PINE64 PineTime Wiki for a few days, it has a lot of medium links… many dead links cause many have been written by the same author, and medium suspended their account because of some "under investigation" BS. I hate medium. Which I usually call "merdium", from the term "merde" meaning shit in french.
As I said, you are right about this.
Basically I realized that anything that is centralized or even just USE shits like #GoogleAnalytics, #Facebook buttons, #Youtube embeed or anything else that allow visitors' tracking should be avoided and publicly shamed.
So, again, you are right.
I should have moved those articles (and those on dev.to) ages ago but simply hadn't the time as I gave more priority to other stuffs (some of which finally landed on my website or on Jehanne OS).
What I can say?
Sorry.
@Shamar AT leust, you see the problem. Which is already a (small) victory.
Many people would just ignore the tracking and the risk-of-censorship problems, in the usual "but those platforms are cool, and necessary to build my community and have a big audience" fashion.
Yeah, time is not always easy to finnd, good luck with that.
Took me so times to find how to remove distant google fonts crap and gravatar from my wordpress blog. More than I wished…

@Shamar Criticizing the web using… medium. Makes perfect sense.
