The Gemini protocol is brutally simple, which makes it just about too useless for apps, tracking, and commercial purposes. Gemtext, the format for Gemini pages, is very basic; with about half as many features as markdown, it’s barely a step above plain text. As a result, Gemini is a small universe of blogs and personal sites.
Its simplicity makes it easy for people to create compatible clients and services for it. It’s self-hosting friendly and there are also hosting services, like smol.pub and some pubnixes.
Of course, you’ll need to get a Gemini browser or visit a Gemini-to-web proxy to access it.
I would consider renaming it so people don’t think it’s AI
Gemini protocol: 2019, Gemini crap machine: 2023. Google can change the name if they want.
Well yes but good luck.
The swastika was around wayy before the nazis started using it! They should change!!
What if that’s what the corpos want?
“Oh it’s the Tiniverse protocol now? Well check out Apple’s new Tiniverse microblogging product!”
I think you’re AI, maybe you should rename yourself.
In order to be artificial intelligence you need to be both artificial and intelligent, and I truthfully am neither
On the plus side, it appears at least you are honest!
