Re: "About the Domain "Geminispace.org""
@Morgan I was only thinking about how Bubble is more like an old school bbs than modern social media, but I like the connection. It could even be considered a recursive acronym, Bubble<is not a>BbS? I mean, for extra Unix geekery points that is.

I think "bbs" would work fine either way. I partly chose the name "Bubble" because it's a bulletin board system and the word has a "BB" in it. (The other part being the speech bubble.)
Keeping the subspaces term, it could also mean "BuBble Subspaces". Or just "Bubble Bulletin boardS".
I vote for "bbl"

@morgan @jeang3nie If you check the blurb at the top of the Bubble subspace you’ll see it described as a bulletin board system. Which I think is cool, because they are way better than (anti) ‘social media’

As long as it's geminispace.org, subspace is quite fitting.
And if gs.org's content is moved to a subdomain, what is going to be displayed on "geminispace.org/"? It cannot be anything about Bubble, because bubble.<tld> would be more fitting for that.
I don't think a subdomain removes much of the potential geminispace.org confusion.
@michaelnordmeyer for now, the root domain could redirect. Personally, I think a subdomain removes the confusion almost entirely. It's not a super necessary change, but I don't really see a drawback.
I'd like to say that I reserved geminispace.club till 2024... I am not even using it since we moved on pebcak.club... geminspace.club is the sibling of the geminispace.org... And honestly I like it more... Would it be ever possible to transfer a domain to another person? 🤷

@freezr it is easy to transfer a domain to another person
geminispace should be registered for every tld

— szczezuja: From my bubble about Bubble
About the Domain "Geminispace.org" — I have encountered a few complaints that the domain name of this site, Geminispace.org, is problematic because it can be somewhat ambiguous and misleading: it may be unclear whether one means just this capsule or Geminispace as a whole — a collection of Gemini capsules and the people who maintain them. One might react to this...
