Revisiting this issue, I want to clarify what my position was and is. Bogan's case is that you don't want to be doing a bunch of 301s&31s from unslashed to slashed all day every day. I agree with that, and my site was definitely borked (both on HTTPS and Gemini) for being set up to do just that. Bogan's solution is that you add slashes to links. I am not onboard with that solution but have now found another solution. Instead of 301/31, the unslashed versions will now serve the text directly. This is what I intended all along, I just could not figure out how to do it properly because I am secretly really bad at computers^W being motivated to hack on server stuff. In the future I might add 301/31 from slashed to unslashed, since that's the canonical version. That's a project for another day though. Thanks to everyone for their patience with how messed up my capsule has been.

You'll need to hover over the links in the code snippets and look at your link-preview bar/popup to see what he's talking about.
