Re: Why Gemini is boring

Someone wrote something that made me sad.

I wrote an angry rant on here, and I ended the rant with:

Fuck this! Last post! No more posts!

He immediately emailed me to apologize. I replied unkindly.

I regret that. Being hateful is not great.

I had by then already uninstalled my gemini apps (both reading and uploading).

Other people have since also started emailing me about this.

I am reinstalling the uploading app temporarily so I can edit this post because I have a guilty conscience for lashing out instead of being charitable & kind.

For the sake of my own accountability, and not for the sake of keeping the hate around, the original version of this page is here.

Embarrassedly picking up the dropped mic from the floor.

I forgot to follow Noora’s rule (even though I have it saved in an M-x nooraquote function):

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

That’s not to say that I’m particularly good at being kind. I’m a bitter & shortsighted & emotional creature.

I don’t feel like writing more right now.

Carefully putting the mic back on the shelf.

Sandra out.
