I have experienced fewer reads but often more engagement via comments. I have enjoyed the back-and-forth with other writers and this activity has kept me involved. Without it, I may have drifted away.

I am writing less, trying to read more and comment whenever possible ( there are stories where I am at a loss for words).

I am still a FoM and will continue to be for 2025 with hopes, but not holding my breath, that Medium rights itself, explains its policies, and we can get back to enjoying this space.
