Hello everyone my name is Rinale and I'm a retired webmistress from the Geocities era. However this is something I keep to myself as nobody really believes me in the IT field I've been in the web for so long and frankly I don't care anymore.
Today I just wanted to test the new Gemini protocol and what it means for everyone to continue enjoying a diverse Internet. It's not surprise to all of us that the COVID-19 situation caught us all by surprise a year ago already, yet something more sinister is lurking around and is the fact that governments across the world are using this excuse of disease as a way to enforce lockdowns and deprive people from basic liberty rights such as the situation that happened in the US and in many parts of the world.
People are waking up and that's something the people in power does no like, however, to my surprise I really never expected they would go full draconic and enforce their censorship rules to such extent like it's happening right now all over the Internet.
The Internet when it truly began back in the 2000 as the promise for an interconnected world to meet new people, to share stories, experiences and such. Is in grave danger, this is what I like to call the "Promise" which is what made me love the internet in the first place and until this day I continue to do so, in fact working in the net is what brings food to my table too.
Gemini is here to remind us about that Promise that it seems to be it got lost somewhere somehow during the past 20 years. Defend your liberty let's defend this tool that had helped us as humanity to achieve great things together, we cannot let a couple of sites and greedy people destroy it and censor it. In a similar fashion to what is happening to the WallStreetBets phenomena on Reddit , every time they censor something we must strive to replicate that lost piece of information x1000 times.
Well I have so much to write about but right now is 00:35 over here I might sleep...
