I find that one problem people (especially on "Hacker" "News") have in
understanding Gemini is that they don't have any experience of Gopher,
only of the WWW. A lot of things about Gemini make more sense when you
consider them as things addressing the pain points in Gopher, rather
than problems with the WWW.
I used to think that, but now I think it's mostly to help people who
use TUIs and text have an exclusive club for themselves. Bonus points
if you hate accessibility by calling it useless since you have no
accessibility issues yourself.
(especially on "Hacker" "News")
The web is pretty good at Gemini evangelism though. Places that Real
Hackers (TM) like to shit on are full of people telling me that
they're on Gemini.
