Gemini threw the baby out with the bath water by disallowing in-line images and styles. It's not like GeoCities because there's very little if any ability to express yourself artistically with the medium. Half of the "Geocities" pages people harken back to were themselves artistic content.
None of that is really possible with Gemini.
- selfhoster11 3y agoIn-line images are up to the user agent. A Gemini client can permit the user to turn these on. Besides, Gemini being a protocol that aims to be hostile to tracking, made it a bit harder to include tracking beacons/pixels by not allowing those to be downloaded by default.
- danrl 3y agoAgree on the lack of style. I think it would be nice to give the user agent at least a hint in the form of a color map. Images can be inlined by the user agent.
