How Medium moderates its open platform in the AI era Meet the team that handles everything from slop lords to password resets

It matters who you platform and promote—which is why we still moderate the stories on Medium.

It's not an easy job, but it's the right thing to do.

The text "Where hate has no platform." appears in a serif typeface above a magenta-colored, textured illustration of two hands shaking over a book. The image has the subtle impression of text from the other side of the page. In the bottom left is the Medium wordmark.

A friendly reminder, in case you're curious about our publishing standards.

Worried about it?

How Medium started addressing its carbon footprint Where we started, and where we’re going next

In the midst of needing self-care for ourselves and each other, we still also need care for this home we share

Yes?

So, I asked a question, sent 3 pages of documentation, and the fab #reading #writing platform @medium.com listened medium.com/blog/how-med...

If I can prompt change, you can too! 💚

Keep writing.

Reading 🤝 Writing

We are excited to announce our exclusive partnership with pen and paper.

This gentleman, Tony Stubblebine, is the CEO of Medium. And this ‘doing the best thing’ stance is one reason I choose @medium.com to #learn, #read and share some of my #writing

Plus, “we don't allow things like hateful content or racist slurs on Medium… clear and unmovable for us as a company”

👏👏👏

*looking at my saved Medium stories*

"Let's get this read."

Write to discover what you believe.
Read to challenge what you believe.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

This is what we said inside @medium.com in order to give space for people to participate in tomorrow's national strike.
