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?

    Two reasons mainly:

    • It’s lightweight. I can focus on the content with no distractions
    • The content is independent and grassroots. Most stuff is people writing about what they like or think. Not contaminated by click baiting, corporate “infotainment”, etc
