My suggestions don't entail changes in server software.
If a user of such a server wants integrity, then they should request it
of the maintainer of the server code, or switch to a different server;
there are many out there with the same features.
The user of a pubnix or a flounder-style hosting service would likelynot be in a position to determine what server is used. But they wouldbe able to create well-known files or append hash fragments to a fewlinks. The idea of hash fragments for third-party links would beespecially interesting to explore, I think.
Integrity on the server-side is out of the scope of Gemini
As are many features of current Gemini clients.
