I like it. Everyone these days seems to want web pages that are 5MB of dynamically generated junk.
My little website is just static hugo-generated stuff.
Sure, but you don’t need a completely new protocol to speed up websites, learn HTML and CSS and you can easily create fast pages for anyone to look at, not just those with a highly specific client.
People tend to really suck at limiting themselves. If you’re wandering around in gemini space you’re not going to run into pages with lots of ad banners, trackers and other monetization BS. You pretty much can’t. On the web, you can run into simple fast pages but it’s getting less and less the norm. And the lack of easy ways to monetize means it’s unattractive to corporations, which helps avoid creeping enshittification.
Gemini is light, simple, and easy to parse. It’s just lightly marked up text. Compare the size of Lagrange with the size of Chrome or Firefox. And nobody is forcing you to use it. 🙂
