Gemini (inspired by gopher) has been this alternative web for computer enthusiasts for a while now, not a lot of content but there's no JS and no ad networks, perfect for digital neoluddites!
- vGPU 3y ago> Gemini mailing list (down due to hardware failure) Seems like it needs a bit more work. It does seem to be interesting, but what’s the point of a network with no one on it?
- detaro 3y agoIf you think "has a mailing list" is a useful indicator for activity in 2023 open-source I have bad news for you.
- alwayslikethis 3y agoAmong other things, it's better than "join our disc*rd"
- vGPU 3y agoAgreed. At this point, if support or discussion for something is disc*rd only, I will look for something else.
- Endy 3y agoI've been trying to use Gemini via Lagrange Browser several times, but I've never found a site a or a use-case that sticks. What sites do you use on Gemini, and how is it best to find new content there?
- manuelmoreale 3y agoSame experience. Got interested because I love the simply web, love text only sites, love sites that use no JS and so on and Gemini looked promising and very interesting but after a bit I started wondering what’s the point. Having a simple site with no ads and no js is just a matter of intention. We can have those on the web if people really wanted to.
