Is gemini featureful enough to build a sign-up form where I could pay for stuff? I ask only because it seems like the commitment of commercial players seems like a prerequisite for the success of stuff like this.
- sloum 6y agoThe almost full and complete point of this is to REMOVE the ability of "commercial players" from having a role or interest in the platform at all. They have already ruined the web and society as a whole (but that gets into a whole argument for/against capitalism... take a wild guess where I stand).
- hkt 6y agoI'm not a great fan of capitalism, but really my favourite thing about it is the seeming inability of commercial players to surveil. I don't like the idea of building in the price of content as being nothing - I want to donate to bloggers etc. A way around this is to mix gemini and http in a single browser. Only one can be rendered on a page, but they can link to one another, with a warning when you transition between the two. So blogs could have a donate button that just hits paypal etc.
