What's a cool publishing medium for text-based posts nowadays? (lemmy.world)

i'm looking for a place/means/medium for texts that i write. content is essays on topics that i find worthy writing about with hints towars philosophy (i guess).

twenty years ago the right answer to my question would have been a (we-)blog - what's the current day equivalent for such a venture?

optimally, a solution would neither be based on lock-ins, data collection/aggregation or other shady business and would be freely (e.g. in a web browser, no login/registration required) and easily accessible.

WriteFreely and Plume are based on ActivityPub and can be followed from the Fediverse (in addition to RSS of course)

Do you have any opinions on or comparison of the two?

Plume seems discontinued or not actively maintained (anymore)
