Medium delenda est.


"Delendum". Medium delendum est. It's neuter gender unlike Carthage which was feminine like many city names.



A joke is not meant to be accurate. This one is funnier if you only change one word of the original quote, even if the resulting one is wrong.


Medium should be "media," no?


I hate medium myself, but before going that route it is important to recognize the success of it and ponder why.

- why so many tech users use medium to write tech articles and not ghost, wix, tumblr or a wordpress provider?

- why so many people post links to article from medium?

Unless we answers those questions and provide an alternative can we destroy it, otherwise people will just keep doing that.


For the Greek-impaired: “Medium must be destroyed.” [Edit: Latin! I meant Latin! Oy, vey!]


It is Latin, no?


Of course. For those who aren't familiar with the phrase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthago_delenda_est
