In case you are wondering, this is about the Gemini Protocol, not the LLM.

"Gemini is an application-layer internet communication protocol for accessing remote documents, similar to HTTP and Gopher."

The protocol has no native embeds (not even images) so all you get is text, or media if you click links to the file directly (also no js, fingerprintin or ads). It's great if you look for a plain internet.

I fail to see what the slopped site adds to the Wikipedia article for the protocol.

I had a burst of interest in Gemini when it was "cool", but ultimately HTML scratches my publishing itch.

The Lagrange browser is an impressive piece of software. Recommended.

Having moved my WEB site to Gemini a couple of years ago, I think Gemini is the easiest protocol to maintain.

Plus FWIW, dillo has plugins for both Gemini and gopher on it site. So for people who prefer GUIs for browsing, dillo works great, even on the *BSDs

There is a lot of nice content out on both Gemini and Gopher that many people are missing.

Interesting that they did not include stats from sdf.org, I think that is up in the top 3 of number of capsules.
