Today I learned that @medium has a plagiarism problem. They aren't doing nearly enough to stop plagiarizers from stealing from YouTube video transcripts, where a basic Google search of the title of the article would reveal common theft from large channels like Brew, Kurzgesagt, Chilling Scares, etc.
We need to demand these companies do better.

New Blog Post: A review of "BigCartel," the eCommerce platform
https://verbose.s-t.one/2025/09/bigcartel_rating.html
Do you agree or disagree with my rating? Let me know.
I made my first genuine post on my new blog: https://verbose.s-t.one/introduction.html
I'm also just now realizing I need to add the current date to the URL slug.
I'm also open to ideas for spreading the blog. It's going to have things like reviews, which will have much more obvious hashtags. For this post, I'm not sure what hashtags would make sense.

it works!!
Something I wish Mastodon could do that BlueSky already does is allowing use of custom domains without setting up a full-fat Mastodon instance. I know there are workarounds but they aren't as elegant.
E.g. On Mastodon, best I can do is verify my domain in my profile links. On BlueSky, my handle IS my domain. I also realize this is how Fediverse vs. AT Proto works but I do think it would be nice to have something comparable.
