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://bbs.geminispace.org/ and the Lagrange browser.
But the writing side of Gemini quickly feels like:
$ echo "This is a post that seems insanely fun > and interesting to me, but almost certainly > eye-rollingly boring to others!" >/dev/null
Somewhat related is this familiar feeling:
Will this content will be lost
which is all the more familiar when realizing/remembering it's not just online content getting lost.
But back to Gemini: the sense of content getting lost starts about half an instant after a post publishing.
You'd think this would be easy to solve. But such thinking wouldn't take into account the stultifying physical/conceptual isolation of individuals.
Hmmm.
I guess we'll see....
