I agree to Solène, this can get you in real trouble. You're basically stealing, modifing and redistributing their content. Of course there is no commercial gain for you, but you are break their copyright license.
I think Gemini should be known for genuine content and services, not stripped-down copies and bridges from the http world.

Hey all,
As I see more and more fun projects arise, I hacked up a quick
medium.com proxy for gemini. Medium tends to offer long reads with
mostly just text, so it's perfect content for gemeni!
Have a look at gemini://b10m.net/cgi-bin/medium and paste your https
medium URL[1]
This kind of bridge raises a few questions
- medium.com texts are not under open licence so you can't redistribute
it over a bridge that will strip most of it (ads included)
- the author may have wanted some specific layout/markup that you won't
be able to render
- the authors / medium.com publishers are not aware that their content
is available outside of medium.com
It may not seem harmful but I think it is wrong to proceed like this.
It works for something like wikipedia because the texts ARE licensed
with a compatible license for this kind of bridges.
