How does Medium link what some person does as a project to some person who puts content on Medium? What's their authentication mechanism for doing this linking?

    No. I was too lazy to write an article for that The only place I mentioned it was on my Twitter (https://twitter.com/henrylim96/status/1529055034385780737 https://twitter.com/henrylim96/status/1529055034385780737) and on my GitHub.

      So how did they make the connection?

        I was able to find his Medium page by looking up "henrylim96 medium". What's troubling to me is that this isn't some trigger-happy autoban - someone had to actively seek him out. It could have been someone who "snitched" on him, or (I suspect) a Medium employee.

          So it's assumed that someone who has a pseudonym on Twitter is the same entity that uses that pseudonym on Medium?

            I know of a few ways we can test this theory. We're going to need a short list of popular publishers on Medium.
