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.

Gemini protocol: 2019, Gemini crap machine: 2023. Google can change the name if they want.

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!
