My question would be similar but different: what do you use Gemini for, day to day? Do you read the news, or a dictionary, or blogs? Or is it mostly the meta discussion of Gemini itself (which would also be fine, I hasten to add)?
- ByteJockey 5y agoPersonally I trawl it (there's a couple of search engines) looking for the weird stuff from the early internet that's hard to find these days. Is 90% of it crap? Sure, but 90% of everything is crap (sturgeon's law), and it feels less corporate than the current internet. Also people seem to be less angry (on average).
- betwixthewires 5y agoI just read what people that publish over the protocol have to say. A lot of it is meta discussion, because of course it is, but a lot of it is just what you would want to read for the sake of reading, a bunch of words that someone wrote just to write them and put them out for random people to find, no likes or shares or viral this and that or influence intended. It really does feel fun in the same way "browsing" felt fun 20 years ago, there's not a lot in the way of sales pitches when you're reading Gemini documents. It really is hard to describe the weight that lifts off of you when you enter an environment where everyone isn't ruthlessly competing for your eyeballs, and the space to explore whatever you want as a writer when you're not pressured to do that is pretty liberating too.
