Why I prefer reading #GhostBlog blogs to #Medium and am looking forward to their #ActivityPub networking. I'm not sure if Medium authors remember this is the first impression that many of their blogs will see-- a good part of the page covered with a popover.

@markstos It’s a bit frustrating. This is the screenshot of me viewing an article on my phone earlier following a shortened url on Mastodon post. #WebDev community, can we do BETTER?

@heybran Ha, the same screen essentially says “Please sign up” but also “we are going to log your user activity if you do”.

With regards to avoiding the tracking there's https://scribe.rip that you can replace a medium url with. You get a cleaned up version of the medium article then.

Unfortunately you cannot bypass restricted access articles that way.
