Hello again, Medium.

In June 2019, I published Goodbye, Medium, in which I said I would not participate in the two-tier promotion system Medium had then, in which free content was fundamentally less discoverable than paywalled content. But in October 2020, Medium changed this policy:

All posts are now eligible for further distribution across Medium, whether they are paywalled or not.

In light of this, I’m happy to resume publishing my thoughts here on Medium. I’ll still mostly focus on voting theory, but I may veer into other domains — such as Bayesian statistics, or the broader struggle to save and strengthen democracy, or popular culture. I’ll sometimes use the exercise of writing here as a sounding board, working on thoughts that are not fully-formed yet; but I’ll always try to stay considerate of my audience, leaving it as clear as I can who each article is intended for, and explaining whatever I think I can and should for that audience.

So, thank you to Medium for fixing the problem that made me leave, and I’m excited to get back to it.
