And if a high(er) barrier to entry is what stops that deluge, it’s probably good to think twice before taking a wrecking ball to that barrier.
As I’ve said again and again…
Having a small community is good.
Having the barrier to entry be technical competence is bad.
I even tried making an aggrator, Schapcom, that’d make Gemini even “smaller”.
I stopped using it (Gemini is still small enough) and I’m not even sure the code works anymore, but the idea was to be able to tighten your horizon a little bit. There’s some opportunity for discovery, while not being flooded by all content ever.
If Gemini becomes too big, I’ll dust it off.
I don’t wanna just read a bunch of nerd stuff from tech nerds. I wanna read things from all kinds of experiences and fields.
This is something that comes up again and again and again and again on Gemini. People keep conflating small=good (sure) with tech=good (noooo).
