For a distribution/curation thing, I just prefer everyone write their own articles/content on their own website, and then have something like Hacker News, Retweets, Kottke, FB, Flipboard, etc...to float the good things to the top.

EDIT: the only time I've ever gone to Medium to read anything was when something surfaced on Hacker News. I don't really see it as anything more than another blogging engine.

There's also RSS/Atom, which I'm belatedly discovering, and appreciating greatly.
