What's a cool publishing medium for text-based posts nowadays? - eviltoast

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.

    It’s very cheap and easy to do with static HTML files hosted on S3. But of course, that requires using AWS, which means Amazon, which means corporate evil. You would have complete control over it, though. It can also be slow to propagate any changes, so you’ll want to get your pages right before uploading them. You can update them, it just takes a long time to get pushed everywhere. That part is pretty annoying, but it is very inexpensive.
