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?

    Why in gemini and not on the web?

    Because the web sucks. Web technologies are in general horrible to use, build with, etc. Drew DeVault has written a lot of posts about this that I like, i.e. The reckless, infinite scope of web browsers and Web browsers need to stop.

    I myself plan on writing my own post on this too. But for now, like I said: because the web sucks. And because the way Gemini is designed, so much of the garbage that makes the web so suck-y is impossible.
