Sir,

I am rather grateful you clarified what you frustration is at given not all of us are able to contribute to the technical side of Gemini. Personally I'm largely happy with Gemini as-is, though have a few nitpicks mostly about the seemingly arbitrary limit on input text, but just kinda shrug, move on, and wonder what uses gemini can go towards that aren't what I'm using it as.

As I have posted in another thread I have thoughts on your concept of using Git as an '80:20' solution for decentralization and the TLDR is 'I don't like this on the basis of some quibbles about default behaviors, and the notion that this is at all 'temporary' as it will either become permanent, or become a standard others would have to account for and build off of.'

Largely I just don't want Gemini to be abandoned. Sure it will work and float along, but if the folk that lead the way grow disillusioned and growl about the protocol, how long before momentum stops? Then we're in the same boat gopher got put in, minus any self inflicted kneecapping over licensing fees.
