And same can be said for Station, Geddit etc.
And Iām not into it.
I just donāt like making silo accounts all over the place.
Iāve had a few Reddit accounts, and accounts on Discourse or Vanilla sites like Story-Games, and the big bad evil elephant in the room called BoardGameGeek, but Iām not happy about it.
Antenna is also centralized, but since it could easily be changed to a decentralized system if Gemini space ever becomes too big, I was like āenh, itās fineā. I follow a couple of other aggregators as well.
Looks like people are also using the BBS to make gemlogs (for example for Antenna).
That, I 100% support. Itās great that there are hosting sites for gemlogs & capsules.
Update again: On second thought, these compatibility features exacerbate how problematic the BBS is. Itās embrace & extend with āgot to log ināāstyle conversational features.
Someone I donāt get along with very well wrote:
I find it amusing that the people who complain about Bubble bringing a social media aesthetic to Gemini gobble up attention on the aggregators.
āThe people whoāā¦ probably better known as me. Pretty messed up, referring to having a gemlog as āgobbling up attention on the aggregatorsā.
Bubble provides zero friction hosting for long-form content in Geminispace. Critics donāt have to care about that
That was the one thing I wrote was a good thing.š¤¦š»āāļø Iāve asked for years and years for lower friction content hosting and Iāve promoted and recommended some of the sites that do provide hosting, like flounder.
That has nothing at all to do with what I see is the big problem with Facebook and sites like it.
The source code has also been released under BSD-2.
So my criticism isnāt meant as a damnation for all time. There is some hope for this project to end up being a good thing. But thatās then. This is now. For now, Iāve blocked it!
It would be great to reuse existing Gemini infrastructure for this. Antenna/Cosmos could be used as sources of āfederatedā posts that will appear in All Posts as new entries, to be interacted and commented on. Something to consider...
Wellā¦
You guys can easily comment on our posts but the opposite isnāt as easy, is the situation. Itās just yet another reason why people should get an account on the big Bubble instance. But OK. Itās better than nothing šš»āāļø Because then we could update our own posts or make new posts if we wanted to reply back.
