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

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 is a fantastic option. Your posts and profile integrate perfectly with the Fediverse right out of the box, it's nice to look at and really nice to use. It's also FOSS. RSS is supported by default. If you want to tinker with it you can add custom CSS and it's self-hostable. I host my own instance and it's by far the simplest & easiest federated software I've run. An absolute peach - highly recommend!
