If possible, can we please stop using Medium? It's pretty, but it's centralized and tracked. Instead, host things on your own server and post them here on mastodon for discoverablility.
You can either use ghost.org or a static site generator to generate flat HTML and push to your website (like mine: https://nikhiljha.com/2018/01/03/Hello-World/).
It'd be much better to have different blogs hosted on things like netlify (free!) than on one tracked platform.
Protip, use this tune to read haikus:
This is a haiku
I am bad at poetry
Just kidding I'm not
@tinker @hhardy01 DM encryption would be great. Mailvelope has an open issue for ECC support, which would enable it without needing Mastodon cooperation. Looks like openpgpjs supports it already, which would allow someone to add it to the Mastodon web frontend. https://github.com/mailvelope/mailvelope/issues/451
