Gemini needs a Station/Antenna/place where tech talk is off limits. I was excited about Gemini when I first discovered it, but I rarely come here now. I'm not technical. It's too much work to mine the gems.

Every technically-minded person also has non-technical interests. It would benefit everyone, I'd think.

@pietro2 wow, I had no idea there were that well-put-together graphical clients for Gemini! Thanks for opening my eyes. I love my diohsc, but that's awesome... and astonishing that people have put in the work for that kind of thing. 路 4 months ago

@clseibold no those are fine, I guess I meant more in the computer technology realm, which is probably 80% of what people write about here in Gemini. the only catch is you need a separate gemlog, or a way to parse them out via categories and then submit. 路 4 months ago

@gritty Does non-technical mean non-technology, or like, the type of subjects that require education (technical in the sense that Theology, Biology, Physics, Math, etc. are all technical). 路 4 months ago

@gritty Was not aware of DSN Antenna! This sounds cool! I'll be sure to check it out. 路 4 months ago

thanks @skyjake

yeah I need to advertise DSN Antenna a bit more. hoping a grassroots movement jumps on board. a lot of people are just used to posting to Antenna. 路 4 months ago

The DSN Antenna is a few months old. Here's the thread on BBS: gemini://bbs.geminispace.org/u/gritty/3470 路 4 months ago

Thank you @skyjake, @gyaradong, and @justyb for your recommendations of bbs and the non-tech Antenna. I was unaware of both. Is DSN Antenna brand new? There's not much there as of yet.

@mcoffin - I'm not sure what you mean by "workflow," but I use LaGrange as a gemini browser. 路 4 months ago

@gyaradong You are probably thinking of gemini://gemini.smallweb.space/antenna/ that was set up by @gritty . 路 4 months ago

I'm curious. What kind of workflow are you using to browse gemini space? Mine wouldn't be friendly to non-techies, but I'm curious what your workflow is. 路 4 months ago

there was also a non technical antenna somewhere I think. 路 4 months ago

Have you taken a look at the various subspaces in bbs? gemini://bbs.geminispace.org/s/

Might be worth a looksee. 馃し 路 4 months ago
