I understand they may have done this hastily and I also don’t have any skin in the game. They could have given a heads up. We know he didn’t switch over alone and someone must’ve known. On the other hand Medium sucks and FCC has helped so many people for free I would hope people could let this go. Chock it up to helping people.

Making a mistake is one thing, persisting in a broken state is another. FCC needs to actively resolve the current situation, regardless of how they got here.

I have no issues with Medium, though I don't see they've behaved in appropriately here.

I think it's fair to criticize Medium on how they handled certain things leading up to this and in their past. But with regard to this precise situation, they acted predictably and in accordance with previous cases like Hackernoon.

I feel like FCC is purposefully conflating the situation to make it an "us vs them" situation, when it really isn't.
