There's dev.to, which is like Medium for tech writers.

  For me, part of the excitement is to see personal blog sites. So anything like Medium, dev.to, InfoQ, DZone, etc. is not really what I was getting at. It would have to be a link aggregator like HN that either has an army of editors, a disciplined community that flags invalid posts, or a technical way to filter for personal blogs.

Oh boy, do I have a blog post for you (and anyone who wants to build such a thing)! (Sadly it's on Medium, but still...) https://medium.com/@soatok/defeating-coordinated-inauthentic-behavior-at-scale-a872badf721 https://medium.com/@soatok/defeating-coordinated-inauthentic...

      Thank you for the link! Definitely a good read for somebody who wanted to tackle this problem.

    I’d be careful about wholesale dismissal of Medium. It has many, many personal blogs; some, rather badly-written. The platform may be slick and polished, but the content is a different matter. Some of the best tips and techniques that I’ve learned, have come from "scruffy" Medium posts. My own presentation tends to be highly-polished, but that’s because I’ve been writing all my life (never professionally). Not many folks read my writing, but it’s something in which I take some pride, so it comes across in a fairly slick manner.
