I've recently more or less ended my Gemini journey
<gemini://gerikson.com/gemlog/gemini-sux/Winding-down.gmi>
I think it's great the community still has buzz, and that it's probably still growing, but it's not for me.
There's nothing inherent in HTML that leads to vapid "influencer" culture. If you host your own server, you're basically doing what Gemini is doing now, but with almost infinitely more flexibility. It's just that people did that in 2005 and it's "old".
- ancientsofmumu 4y agoProving your point, the Kineto proxy turning that into HTTPS + HTML: https://gemini.envs.net/x/gerikson.com/gemlog/gemini-sux/Winding-down.gmi https://gemini.envs.net/x/gerikson.com/gemlog/gemini-sux/Win... Kineto is written by the same person who wrote Gemini (Drew DeVault), showing us that Gemini as a protocol isn't really needed for transport to share Gemini content, which can be just plain HTML anyways.
- tristan957 4y agoDrew DeVault didn't write Gemini. He merely participates or participated in the community.
- ancientsofmumu 4y agoMy mistake there, I meant "the Gemini server" meaning to refer to https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/gmnisrv/ https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/gmnisrv/ which I'm to understand is pretty popular. Bad English on my part, apologies.
- tristan957 4y agoYep, no problem. Thanks for correcting!
