Way back in the 90s I discovered gopher. It was magical, like some difficult to navigate, decaying place hidden from a web going corporate even back then. The problem I had with it was I couldn’t find anything of use.
Now, looking at gemini, I get the same vibe. It has the same magical promise.
What do you use gemini for? For information or just browsing around? Do you want to create a blog or other content? Why in gemini and not on the web?
Personally I’m going to host my own Gemini capsule for a couple reasons. I’ve recently started developing a strong interest in technology, I like the idea of self-hosting my own content away from any potential for advertising, and, most important for the push to do it, was that my ISP doesn’t block the gemini port (it blocks HTTP/S). I think it’s that last part especially that pushed me to ernestly check out Gemini and it’s really cool! Small for sure but that’s perfectly fine with me.
