Hi mifuyune. I'm an old man and grew up with the terminal. As much fun as the late 1990s Web, HTML always worked in plain text. This vanished when CSS and JS became required.
Gemini reminds me of the Web I grew up with. It's simple enough where one person can understand and maintain it. The lack of graphic and layout features means there's less to distract yourself with so you can just focus on making content available.
It's also a smaller community. I think with smaller groups there's less desire to push people out for petty reasons.

@istvan Honestly, the more time I spend in gemini-space, the more I appreciate the simplicity of it. While I don't see myself turning away from the Web any time soon, it's nice to have a refuge from all that 😊
Hello There! — I'm new, not just to the BBS but to Gemini-space itself. Ended up hopping around different hosting services and I've settled on one. You can find it at the link below (also on my user page): So far, I'm using the capsule as a place where I put my game reviews, and a tinylog. I plan on using that capsule for any of my future open source projects' devlogs. Maybe some other creative/experimental output will show up there, too. I'm curious, besides the privacy issues of the Web, why...
