Begin rant/ Dorsey's new Blueksy just came to Android. Insert the usual:
Those that forget the past, something, something, use more social media.
Bluesky has decided to use their own decentralization protocol because (https://xkcd.com/927/) Yes you already know which xkcd that one is.
I hear ideas on why Gemtext needs to have *Insert markdown idea here* (humor of using italic markdown not lost here) and the thing is, if there ever is some "update" to Gemtext it ought to be something "we†" all agree upon. Because if not, well that's Jack Dorsey and you don't want to be **that** guy.
† we being a broad term I won't define better here

There's nothing wrong with spinning up a markdown flavor for gemini, or spinning up another small protocol with the features you like. The whole point of small protocols is you can spin it up yourself without needing to find consensus, to test different ideas fast. Consensus kills. · 4 days ago

†† Not defining the term better because it's a way bigger topic than a simple comment can really cover. Dang I should start a capsule… 🤔
Any one got good places that let you start one up? I'm kinda in flux at the moment, otherwise I'd toss one of my pis that I have to do the job. · 5 days ago
