What fight is this can you elaborate? I got the same email but have no idea hackernoon was even a thing, I thought it was like a publication to share articles,

  https://www.startengine.com/hackernoon https://www.startengine.com/hackernoon Hackernoon crowdfunded one million dollars late last year to separate from Medium due to the latter’s extensive revenue model changes in 2018. Presumably in the intervening days since funding, their 2.0 business has progressed far enough to requesting from authors the rights necessary. to republish elsewhere than Medium the content previously contributed by Medium authors. It follows that, having received a clarifying email from Medium about the steps necessary to either permit or deny this rights transfer, the OP here is both one of the referenced Medium contributors and previously received some sort of rights transfer communication from Medium, Hackernoon, or both. While the communication(s) prior to this one are not shared, the email from Medium implies that the transfer requires explicit consent, and thus the author simply need not comply to deny Hackernoon republication rights. I wish OP or anyone would post a link to a blog post about this detailing the communications to date, but in lieu of that, perhaps the above will help.
