Fediverso quickly gain allies. Now the authors platform Medium, which has decided to open an example on Mastodon. Those interested will be able to access the new Medium server at me.dm, where they can find messages and other content.

The decentralized network is a breath of fresh air for many services. In the words of Medium CEO Tony Stubblebine: “Mastodon is a rising force for good on social media.” Large companies have their own plans, but smaller services like Medium or Mozilla favor the decentralized protocol.

Medium has so far focused on calmly worded articles. That’s where the name comes from, medium-sized items. Instead, Mastodon is a social network for messages up to 500 characters. With this move, Medium leverages the newly created Mastodon asset to include “short articles”. This is where the name me.dm comes from as a cropped version of Medium.

Medium has already shared a lot with the fediverso philosophy. In the end, it was a group of distributed authors, each with their own environment, but all interrelated. Opening a server on Mastodon fits this strategy very well, just replace the format with shorter texts.

In addition to creating space, They will invite specific authors and publications from Medium to participate directly. Invitations will then be sent to authors and Medium users so they can post directly to Mastodon. This option will be included in one of your subscriptions.

Medium is working on a “Register Psychic” option that will be used to access this feed with a simple interface.

As we have explained on previous occasions, each Mastodon server has its own rules. Here from Medium they explain it will exercise stable controlthe domain name is short enough to be easily found and they are open-minded to newcomers.

According to them, only a small number of Medium users are currently invited to the Mastodon sample because They try what works and what doesn’t.. Fediverso is a new option for social networks like Medium and is used to promote changes.
