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!
Maybe a fresh new wave of pleasant, scripted and well produced, video tutorials might renew the general public's interest.
There's been a tiny first wave of videos, focusing on how small the smoll internet is...
It seems to me that focusing on how mentally "nutritious" Gemini is, would make for a nice overarching theme for a second wave of videos. Especially now that people are noticing the dramatic fall in quality of the publications on the traditional web.
I'd like to make one, but I'm not sure I'd be good at it.
Gemini is exceptionally good at keeping away those people who can't appreciate it!
They don't belong here. Why would you entice them?
@stack: Hey...
Well, because some people might benefit from knowing about Gemini, who would do just fine here, but who could only first hear about it on a mainstream platform, as a video presentation...
@Nono, I have faith that those who will enjoy Gemini will get here when they are ready. Actively recruiting will more likely draw the wrong crowd, and there is really zero reasons to grow Gemini faster!
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
