@kahliltweets @dhh @dfabu @photomatt @Medium @WordPress that's fair, but a) never outsource a core competency and b) they helped centralize Medium. I would like to see the same principled stand they took with Facebook echoed here with Medium. Centralization is bad and "I got more clicks" isn't exactly a principled stance.
