Same. And even professionally I'm not going to post everything on linkedin, so it can't be my "blog" either. And medium paywalls....so I ended up just rolling a quick blog on github pages using astro. Was pretty easy, and set it up as a repo so my partner can host her portfolio on github too -> https://github.com/ShelbyJenkins/easy-astro-blog-creator

and this is knowing very little about webdev. pretty nice until github tries to monetize pages

I think Medium paywalls only when you choose to monetize your content.

I still think using something open source is better though.
