A couple of thoughts on this new line of discussion:
3. Dear God, when/where/how does it stop?! This was supposed to be a
simple, humble, protocol of limited scope!
To me, this is key and exactly where the web went off the rails. If this is embraced by the community it becomes a defacto standard; clients that do not support it will be considered less. This is what happened to mosaic and Netscape.
6. Does anybody else feel like we are just instinctively
re-implementing
the familiar history of the web without much caution or critical
thought?
Yes!
Why does this have to be a part of or associated with gemini at all? Why not build a separate protocol and client and build a community of authors around it?
In my mind gemini is a passive reader's tool. It gets all of the noise out of the way, advertising, comments, likes, social media distractions, incentives to grow audiences etc...
How about a protocol extension that says user input MUST NOT be persisted by servers?
