I've been back on Medium less than 24 hours and I already got the red banner. But no "Roger (he/him)" email. No notification of being banned. So maybe it actually is "under review."
But I didn't say a word about "trans" anything. I responded to a few software articles, and yes in a few cases I wonder'd aloud why they would post such trash. So did a lot of other people.
Medium was once a great place to write and for a while I was making a cool thousand a month. But in addition to the transn's the overall quality has fallen to the floor. "How I got offers from (list of corporations); why I quit my 400K job, and the endless streams of what makes a great/lousy programmer.
If it says 'under review' at the top every time you log in, you may well be in the process of being banned. I just logged into my old account and I have a message saying not that it's under review, but that it's under investigation or was found in violation of Medium rules.
I myself quickly grew tired of the "How I earned $1.5B on Medium in my first hour when an article I wrote went galactically viral" crap.
Every time I've gotten banned it's had something to do with "trans" and the email was always in my inbox at the same time as the banner. *shrug* not that it matters, they ignore all appeals.
Thanks for the vocal.media link, they have one contest I may take a stab at.
But, yeah, so many things going bad at the same time on Medium. Not only publishing but promoting articles of awesome inferiority. The nearly inescapable "trans" crowd. The profligate no-warning banning. The new restrictions on the partner program. It's like they're trying to destroy it.
Ugh, it's getting a lot worse. One wonders whether this might signal the beginning of the end. It's unfortunate, because it used to be a great platform for writing, getting started, learning, etc. Vocal.media isn't even close to that and doesn't have the domain ranking. But, I've published several articles critical of the trans movement and they've published all of them. Sometimes they reject them for approval and I have to rewrite or change a few things which is annoying, but overall a helluva lot less than the way Medium handles it. Only two I didn't rewrite because I didn't have time, I wanted to get the content out there, and I said the hell with it and published it on my blog & Substack (which is where my articles go after Vocal anyway). Hopefully Vocal won't go crazy-far-left the way Medium was, and it was already famous as a hotbed of far-leftiness and man-hatred from 'feminists', although I never got shit from anyone on the Medium staff for my feminism-critical articles, only angry misandrists.

Feel free to call this sour grapes.
