Gemini as heresy. Why Gemini inspires such antagonism

WIP

on the subject of gemini or rather on agitation against Gemini

possible motivations:

people don't like seeing traduced:

the idea of always changing protocols, a reflection of their non-tech politics

concerns re perception of low status

anti-puritanism

or opposition to self-righteousness or to any kind of implicit moral criticism

or opposition to private initiative

egalitarianism

idea of tech barriers unacceptable (barriers of IQ or knowledge)

tall poppy syndrome / Jante

just being different - uniformity with other protocols

bellheads: don't like TOFU, self-hosting, many-to-many, permissionless

NB good faith
