I've been browsing the gopher / geminispace a bit, reading and taking note of capsules and people I might be interested in. I'm positively impressed by the overall atmosphere of the place: no intrusive content, no memes, no influencers, no images - just text. I quit Instagram and all that terribly messy world of mainstream social media just a week ago or so, and I'm already perceiving some improvements in my mind. I no more feel compelled to grab the phone and scroll through useless garbage; I regained my interest in writing and be creative completely; the world directly accessible to my senses is more interesting again; and I feel less nervous and less prone to negative thoughts.
I love this nice little protocol and the "secret" world it created inside the Internet. It's so simple that leaves lots of space to creativity and I really love it. In fact, I've come up with lots of ideas that I'm really looking forward to implement. But I have to force myself into taking my time and do things at a slower pace: I want to preserve my energies and my enthusiasm, since I wish this to be a long journey.
