Medium, So You Are Suspending Positive Creators Now??
Bring Toni The Talker Back!!
Medium, You got me so confused. The way you keep suspending Toni The Talker’s Accounts, has me really twisted on what platform I am on. For a moment I thought I was on TikTok, and then I realized I was actually having to type my thoughts versus record my video.
We already know that you do not elevate African Diaspora voices that speak about issues that concern our community or center our voices and perspectives. We get it, we know who we are partnering with when we choose to share our articles, poems, short stories, or any other literary creations on this platform.
However, Toni The Talker is one of the most POSITIVE voices on this platform. She not only speaks truth to power, but she empowers those she speaks to speak their truth, NO MATTER what walk of life they come from. She not only connects with others on this platform to speak words of encouragement to them, she encourages others to connect with each other, to affirm the craft we are all honing. Toni has been one of the biggest advocates I know for your platform, and if you are going to kick her off this platform, really needs to be clear why.
We the authors of Medium are in a partnership with you. Your platform provides a venue for us to share our literary arts in exchange for your platform, received financial compensation, above-average user engagement as well as above average session duration. I am very sure with the amount of time users spend engaging on this platform that your bounce rate is extremely below average in comparison to other blogging sites. We the authors that choose medium over veterans like WordPress or newer sites like Substack assist in creating the necessary KPIs that allow you to appear viable to your investors.
I have looked at the rules of engagement for this platform and have been following Toni, for well over a year, Accept for one of the rules of engagement, which can only be verified by the end user. she appears to be abiding by the terms your organization has set.
MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE TO US. If Medium will be arbitrarily kicking creatives off this platform, let us know. There are other platforms that are not randomly censoring creatives, without rhyme or reason. I will gladly start moving my content there.
BRING BACK TONI THE TALKER!!
The Ask:
Toni along with other users have been randomly had their accounts removed from Medium. This removal was enacted without warning to the users and when the users reached out, they have not received contact or confirmation on why they are loosing their account. however without clarity as to why their accounts were cancelled.
- If we are mutuals, you need to have another platform you can post your content on.
- If you are posting your content on another platform whether it is SubStack or Paetron, please share your handle, I will go and follow you.
