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.

https://everything2.com/

is a text based, massively interlinked website that predates Wikipedia.

The topics(nodes) range from non-fiction informational to philosophical musings.

Will need an account to add nodes.

this looks very interesting! any pointers on how to (get) use(d to) it?

Nope, I've never posted, just remember it as a huge trove with a decent vibe.

Pretty sure it is just: create account and post.

I think some people add a CC licence to their works.

This has all the starter info:
