“Instead of focusing on genuine problems of international peace, prosperity, or good relations,

So we should debate you instead then? How you are a war mongering psychotic country?

Trust On First Use.

Why does Gemini even require TLS/SSL to begin with?

to facilitate TOFU.

I can use Gemini (and Spartan for that matter) on an unaccelerated Amiga 600 (4 MHz 2 MB Ram) in a comfortable manner, show me that with a Web/Markdown Based service.

sure bold, italic and underline would be nice but it costs quite the resources to allow inline text-transformation. Numbered List, just put a Number after the Bullet Point.

Honestly, I expect Gemini to remain a niche thing pretty much forever.

It does not offer what a regular user wants: a convenient, interactive, extensible, multipurpose Web. For most, it’s incredibly boring and outdated. Even worse that it requires its own browser or translation through the local server.

which is EXACTLY the point of Gemini. Focus is on the content. And well, you need a dedicated browser for the web as well.

tlgs exists, and I believe that it aint the only one.

Build search engines that only index pages that contain the smolweb headers defined in the standard

and how do you propose to impose that? Heck robots.txt doesn’t even seem to be honored!

I don’t know, this blog posts reads like “I hate everything that makes Gemini Gemini (unable to commercialize, limited gemtext capabilities, TOFU and TLS) , but I actually do like it.”

If you don’t test it, it doesn’t exist!
