Hi ~inquiry, while I fully agree, that "no content" is the very purpose (as explained by ploum), and while I consciously enjoy the "slow" nature of gemini space, I think the original post is just about a tool thing: We can read the messages in The Midnight with elpher or Langrange, but we cannot easily? or at all? post our content using the same toolset. Lagrange apparently can handle the titan protocol as well. But the site mechanics need to support that.

I have also tried to post using emacs/eww, the builtin webbrowser. I can log in, I can read posts, and write something short, I have not understood, how to enter something that is bigger than the entry field as shown in emacs/eww. But of course I attribute that to my lack of knowledge rather than anything else :)

My opinion is human selfishness tends to outpace having nice things. I'm imagining the problem to be solved (posting here with simple tools) being fairly simple were it not for having to address security to avoid shenanigans that would reduce the pub to a smoldering pile of byte ash.

Ditto pretty much everywhere else in the human realm.

See also: locks, keys, combinations, security, police, prisons, armies, weapons, passwords, public/private keys, yadda yadda endless fucking yadda.

See also: maybe attempting to keep a decade of "commandments" wasn't so bad/difficult an idea after all given the increasingly horrifying alternative?
