MEDIUM BEACONS
Another Side of Justiss
She got moves
Unless you’ve been living under a Medium rock, you’re familiar with a writer who is so generous in spirit that the majority of her stories are crafted to help the rest of us schlubs be better scribes, and, platform-savvy.
Of course, I’m talking about Justiss Goode | F😄M, a woman I’m proud to call my friend. Like me, she’s been writing on Medium a minute and has seen many changes that have evolved through the years. And, frankly, some of them, like the ridiculous “boost,” an initiative foisted on Medium writers by CEO, Tony Stubblebine. And what it’s done, aside from being divisive AF, is make a lot of money for the very few, and leave the rest of us pissing in the wind.
Thanks, “coach.”
From what I understand, boosting is a Mastodon thing, a social media platform having something to do with the Fediverse, which I’m proud to say I know little about. The real universe is baffling enough, thank you, especially now that empty-headed yokels elected a treasonous felon and adjudicated rapist to be president of the United States.
By the way, that asshole will never be my president.
I believe Stubblebine hangs out on Mastodon, hence it’s migrating from there, to here.
