How many people knew where the '#' key was prior to Twitter?How many people knew where the '`' key was prior to Gemini?
When your grandparents can find '`' on the keyboard Gemini has mainstreamed - Perhaps they^1 can serve as a tripwire to eject the protocol from the group^2?
^1 Only your grandparents' cognition, nobody elses elders^2 textual diambiguation wise, group is perhaps a little ambiguous, I had to cross reference again a hash of unknown societies before determining it was (indeed) the RFD Usenet group

"Small-web" or "small-net" are sometimes used, most often to describe a
combination browser for these protocols.
There's quite a bit of overlap between the communities.
Thanks, so true! And so I began to write an RFD document for "Small Scale
Hypertext Information Systems" in the same pad (carbon copy below):
https://pads.ccc.de/comp-infosystems-gemini-rfd
Please, anybody feel free to edit along and/or give other input, also on
the name and the byline, and the whole endeavour, of course, as I do not
want to diminish the efforts already put into the first RFD process.
This might be a fantastically premature question, but:
Twitter was once a small Ruby on Rails app. Since “small” is a functional definition, does a
protocol get booted out of the group if it becomes too popular?
