Thank you for sharing your experience. Medium is not Facebook. Readers come here to read stories of creators. Some of us share personal experiences and some professional and scientific facts. Keeping this simple fact in context can make the platform more peaceful. I like the term refuge as many writers have this sensation. Unfortunately, some people attack writers for various reasons. Usually, the motive from my observations is showing one's insecurities. If they don't like a piece, they can move to the next one. There are millions of stories on this platform. What is the point of attacking a writer? I enjoy your beautiful and engaging stories. Keep up the great work.
