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...
- tkainrad 7y agoThank you for the link! Definitely a good read for somebody who wanted to tackle this problem.

- ChrisMarshallNY 7y agoI’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.
