Today I was going to write my plans for building an Ultimate Windows XP machine, but in my usual gemlog browsing session, I discovered there is legitimate Malware being advertised as a potentially illegal service for sale, right here on gemlog.blue. If there is a way to contact the staff/admin of the gemlog.blue server, I hope I find it soon. The service seems to advertise itself as some sort of private international communications service, while also encouraging gemini users to visit an almost onion-like clearnet link composed of many random numbers and letters.
Ignoring the fact that it hasn't been deleted for 3 days now, this leads me to believe that somewhere, a mainstream audience is learning about the gemini protocol, or else there would likely be no incentive for these services to be advertised here. This is one of those times where I'd say maybe gatekeeping is necessary, though I have shown people gemini on my own. Hopefully occurrences like these stay rare.
