"Human beings shouldn't be worried." I like that ^^

But have you heard about the purge of spammers? I know some people who have been removed even though they were authentic authors.

It's definitely a good idea to back up your stories.

I think it was in 2022 when I suddenly couldn't log in to my Medium account. That was scary. The helpdesk couldn't help me because I couldn't log into the system.

Luckily, I got in touch with one of the Trust & Safety people and they helped me get access again via email.

Do you see hate speech on Medium?

By "divided" do you mean political?

Purges like that are only going to become more common. As platforms learn the tools, writers are going to have to be patient. I've heard of a few people who got falsely flagged but who had their accounts reinstated.

Yes, by "divided" I'm talking about American politics. The population of the US is averse to intellectual discourse anyway. I think few of them realize how much they're being manipulated by bots.

I see almost no hate speech on Medium. I do have to block an occasional account, but on other platforms I'll get hundreds of hate speech comments a day.
