Re: "Why do people not like gemini anymore?"
I am always confused by the 'complexity' of using Gemini. Is it really that hard to install Lagrange? Is it harder to sign up for BBS or equivalent than say Facebook? What's there to learn?
The only hard part is googling "Gemini protocol", as gemini alone will bring you to some idiot AI or crypto hedge fund.

@stack You're not wrong. Nothing is complicated which is why I was drawn into Gemini and stayed. But I think those who can find comfort in places like those found on Gemini do not like having their content spoon fed to them.
I would say gemini space as it is today is much better than what it was back in 2021. we got bubble, misfin. we have people talking about stuff other than gemini/how we all hate http. If gemini in 2021 was like an landing point on a distant planet, gemini today is more like a small colony.
@decant_ This is so heartening to read!
Why do people not like gemini anymore? — I remember a couple years ago i heard people talking about gemini like it was an escape from the bloat of the modern web, now i see people saying that gemini doesn't solve anything and isn't even comparable with the regular web
