And, most of the times, well addressed, in my opinion. Indeed. i've encountered people discussing Gemini as something intended to supersede the Web, even though the opening text of gemini.circumlunar.space states: > Gemini is a new internet protocol which: > > Is heavier than gopher > Is lighter than the web > Will not replace either and FAQ 1.4 states: > 1.4 Do you really think you can replace the web? > > Not for a minute!

That said, in terms of FAQ 1.1: > You may think of Gemini as "the web, stripped right back to its > essence" or as "Gopher, souped up and modernised a little", > depending upon your perspective. i prefer the latter perspective, as i think the former tends to encourage people to think of Gemini along the lines of, say, HTTP 1.1 and HTML 3.2.
