Success! I was able to restore much of Drew's capsule from older Kennedy crawl data. I'm hosting the mirror here:

@astromech every thing that happens on internet is maneuvered by GAFAM.
For me is a "condicio sine qua non" I don't need any evidence to support such statement.
GAFAM is everywhere sponsorship everything: Linux, FSF, Debian, Arch, FreeBSD, W3C, ISC, OSI... "ad infinitum"
Can be a tech or a blog article against Gemini, a comment from a coworker from any company related directly or indirectly to GAFAM; a rumor from a customer that is also a GAFAM customer.
A peer pressure strategy to induce auto-censorship, a strategy older than internet or computer science... · 1 year ago
@freezr Do you have any evidence that GAFAM may be responsible? · 1 year ago
@krixano some "tech personalities" maybe came for curiosity and left because they had wrong expectations, but I am more inclined to believe that many of were pressured to leave the geminispaces to avoid useless trouble.
Even people like DeVault, which are on the edge, eventually have all to pay their own expenses... 🤔 · 1 year ago
@freezr Honestly, Gemini had a big boost within a year, and people expected the whole spec to be done within that year (when it usually takes many to bring a programming language to 1.0, in comparison). There was a lot of pressure happening on everyone, I think, but especially Solderpunk. I would not have been able to deal with how the mailing list was in Gemini's second year nearly as well as Solderpunk did.
As for some people not caring about Gemini - part of the reason is because they think they need a bunch of visuals, images, etc. to catch people's attention, or market their products for their business. I guess it's a good thing the latter stayed away. · 1 year ago
His last post doesn't convince me... By the way, many gemini related topics would be already closed if the project was better communicated with a clear road map...
I think the problem is, as usual, GAFAM (and the rest of the evil empire). They had communicated around, indirectly, that professionals with a good visibility had better to not get involved with Gemini.
Many of them disappeared more or less in the same period, I don't believe for the lack of content; but I am pretty sure GAFAM doesn't like any alternative to the WWW. 🤔 · 1 year ago
First time reading his last post about leaving gemini, since I was off gemini at the time it was posted. I thought it was something completely different from what it actually is, lmao. · 1 year ago
