I think they stole ’em, like before.

Okay, I don’t want to start something I have very little expertise in, but I think these guys once stole a few Pubs from Medium and got shut down. I went to their site to see if any of mine were stolen and grabbed a screen shot/snippet of the below.

If you didn’t give permission for them to have your pub, you might want to report them to both Medium and Ichi’s host.

I saw something on Facebook about MuddyUm being stolen and on that site. Susan Brearley seems to be on top of protecting her pub. Perhaps she can help. Holly Jahangiri seems to know a lot about it, too.

If you look at the list, there are some names you’ll recognize. I don’t know if this is a full list, but someone smarter than me can figure that out. ZORA Editors Better Human Karen Madej ILLUMINATION-Curated
