Yes, that would be a good solution too. And there are also other good platforms.

I am looking to migrate from Medium to bearblog.dev. The markdown format should make any future migrations easier, and also let me write articles offline, without any hassles associated with maintaining a server or the too many (in my opinion) bells and whistles on wordpress.com.

Medium was good until it developed this perception problem though. Although maybe highly technical articles never did fit it very well.
