  1. @keithpp Yes, I have used both. To me they're interchangable. What I'm trying to understand is what *precisely* you need from a replacement.

    1. @keithpp if you've detailed that in one of your other Medium posts, just ignore me, I'll read them all carefully tomorrow :)

      1. @keithpp I would suggest having a look at # though, it's a neat blogging platform developed by a not-for-profit

        1. @keithpp let me say first, as an ally of # and #, I agree with your critique of Medium's enclosement decision

                1. @keithpp so if we're going to replace # with a platform cooperative(s), what are the design requirements you, as a user, need from it?

          2. @strypey @keithpp can't follow conversation because software doesn't show thread, but would like to read critique
