With Medium now restricting casual readers, I'm wondering where the best place would be to publish tech-related articles, tutorials, etc. LinkedIn, maybe? Facebook (ugh)? Tweet and link to my blog?
Is Medium still the place to publish high-impact articles?

#2May I take this opportunity to recommend Epiphany, a new blogging experience tailored for tech content?

Epiphany is a crossover of Jupyter notebook and Medium.com,
Not only can you write text, you can also program on it, to create interactive examples, see:

In addition to interactivity, Epiphany implements version control, forking and pull request. You can collaborate with others just like you do on github.

It also has the social publishing feature as seen on Medium.
Finally, users own their content. Epiphany has a download button to allow downloading all blog data.
The format used by Epiphany, unlike that of Jupyter, is in plain text and is human readable.

#3I despised Medium from the start and saw it as a content farm. I have always had a policy of downvoting or flagging Medium articles on sight.
If you have something to say, say it on your own website. Stop being a digital sharecropper.

#4May I take this opportunity to recommend a static blog generator [0] I wrote? It uses a single file for input which is Markdown separated by % characters on a line by itself. It comes with 10+ different styles and you can either run the Perl or the Python version.

Nice project.
Until you implement server side rendering you will have a difficult time getting this project off the ground.
Having your article indexable by search engines is critical for 99.9% percent of people that use these sort of mediums.

#7I installed NetNewsWire 5.0[0] when it was launched and subscribed to a bunch of RSS feeds. In my opinion, a native desktop application that downloads content for offline consumption, without CSS, javascript, advertisements, trackers and GDPR pop-ups has led to an incredible experience!
If you publish to your own blog, social media will not be able to censor you. You won’t be required to conform to “community guidelines” that you disagree with, just to reach a target audience. You will own all the IP and content that you create.
I want RSS feed readers and personal blogs to be the future. In my own blog, I’ve started sharing links to other blogs I like - and I hope that one day, people who like my blog will link to me. I hope to eventually acquire readers who come to my blog via a network of high quality recommendations from other bloggers, and they will discover more blogs from those I recommend - all of this without the tyranny of a single social media company controlling “how information flows through their network”
Give NetNewsWire or your favorite RSS feed reader a try. There are several old AskHN posts that have a large number of fantastic RSS feeds you can subscribe to. Try it for a month and see if you agree with me.

It s amazing how much we've regressed in that field

#10If you benefit from users visiting your website, then post it there. Quality content on a domain name you own will benefit your site’s overall SEO (expertise, authority, trust). Then tweet it and share it on LinkedIn.
Posting it on medium would be like giving them all those benefits, while getting a very short burst of visibility.
If you absolutely must post on medium, then post only a summary of your main blog. Then link it (“read the full article here”) to the full blog that’s hosted on your owned domain (but don’t link back to medium from your main blog).
