to your comment on Will this be lost - I rarely think anything on the Internet is as permanent as an acid free journal. sure we have computer backups and yada but can you dig up a hard drive in a hundred years and expect to use it? doubtful. if preserved, books can last a long time. however, zero interactions. take your pick I guess.

Oh, this reminds me that there is something like the Internet Archive for Gemini. It's on the Kennedy Search Engine page. @acidus made the search engine and the archive. They are both great!
There is an arm's length feeling about interactions, if any. However, as I get to know who is what, I more and more appreciate others here doing their thing, even without actual personal interactions. It sure beats the headbutting noise. I find BBS provides a really good balance, where you can chime in when you feel like it, but without the kindergarten pileup seen on the big web.

in the before times, it could take months before a letter reaches it's destination, and the reply would take months more. that's with a global network of people making moving data happen. I see the sometimes sparse spaces as weaning myself off the constant barrage of the big web. I do read a lot on here, but sometimes it's just the vibes of people talking about things they care about.
Sustainability doubts — Gemini is feeling like /dev/null again. Don't get me wrong. We're talking lots of really interesting people writing fairly interesting things. And I can't tell you how impressed I am with @skyjake for creating [gemini link] and the Lagrange browser. But the writing side of Gemini quickly feels like: [preformatted] Somewhat related is this familiar feeling: [gemini link] Will this content will be lost which is all the more familiar when realizing/remembering it's...
