What political bullshit?

  >What political bullshit? Refer to "non-extensibility" in the FAQ[0]. Particularly, as applied to content length in 2.12. [0]: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.html https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.html

    I don't see what's political about that. It seems like a design decision you don't agree with (and neither do I at a first glance) but I fall to see any political intent.

      Their whole decision-making process seems to be political. See 1.1 for their rationale against extensions. Whereas 2.x is full of examples of bad decisions which they're stubborn about not fixing. It is basically somebody's pet project, opinionated and full of rough edges they refuse to ever polish. It lacks the processes and, at the core, the quality expected of a standard, and thus we should be very careful not to mislabel it a standard.

      I think the OP means "political" as in its broader definition, meaning that it makes strong decisions about what it is and how it should be implemented. In other words, "opinionated". AFAIK Gemini is not and has not yet been heavily used for the politics of government or social issues. If your concern is whether it's a new haven for left-wing/right-wing/whatever-wing nuts to spew vitriol and hate, I don't think that is the case.
