With the spate of "announcing..." emails recently,I thought I'd join the fun. After a bit of hand-holding from solderpunk, I successfully installed MollyBrown on rawtext.club, and we're off the ground. gemini://rawtext.clubcurrently only hosts a mirror of the content on the server's http and gophersites, but I will soon link to user directories as well. Beyond simply hosting a main page with some neat figlet text, I have beentrying to think about unique gemini content to post. I am reading Herman andChomsky's Manufacturing Consent again (I'm obsessed with the problem of thecorrupted role of news and social media in "democratic" societies) and I havethought about posting a short book review. Would that kind of content interestanyone? I think that book and similar works are a really strong motivationalbackdrop for this growing activity of the decentralized internet. Has anyone written a gemini server in awk yet? That might be a fun challengetoo... </end of "announcing..." email > Stay safe everyone,cmccabe
