Gemini is a read-only protocol for hyperlinked content distribution, as
Drew DeVault put it recently. Referring to other people's posts via
one's own posts does not make it a social network. That's just
one-way-linked Gemini space. There are no backlinks, except for
resorting to querying the index of a search engine, maybe.
Also the idea of compiling multiple Gemini texts into an EPUB archive
for later offline consumption very nicely fits to the conception of
Gemini's read-only nature.
Thanks for sharing those thoughts!
