To impact as many people as possible with your articles
To build SEO rank for your website
To build a mailing list
Depending on what your goal is would determine your actions.
If you're simply trying to reach and help as many people as possible, posting on DEV.to and on Medium (turning off the paywall) - because you immediately get the reach you need. You're not going to get this with your blog without a few months of continuous posting and good SEO.
If you're trying to build SEO or a Mailing List, posting on other platforms with a canonical link will work as it gives you the dual benefit of 1) building brand through attention towards your content and 2) building long-term SEO and traffic to go into your Mailing List
Hope that helps.
To take it a step further, through my organisation, I repurpose a lot of my blog posts to Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook etc. This gives even wider reach.

Interesting!
But why do you specify turning off the paywall?
Either one is absolutely fine! Once again, it really depends on your intent :)
