Geminispace Promises Simplicity But Also Provides a "bunch of forums that get flood-filled by agitation against the very essence of Gemini itself"
As we noted moments ago, citing this GemLog, there's a capsule which says: "Gemini provides a relatively poor source of positional/status goods for people who want to "improve" the underlying system. What is *does* provide is a bunch of forums that get flood-filled by agitation against the very essence of Gemini itself. Yet here we are half a decade later still running the same software."
Indeed, the claims of stagnation in Geminispace started because of a person who spent a long time agitating against GNU/Linux as well (we did several rebuttals to what he had said). Slop is his thing (he likes using Microsoft slop) and he keeps promoting Microsoft things. He's not even hiding it. Does this sound familiar?
Meanwhile there's also this new release of Lagrange, probably the most widely used Gemini client. So development didn't stop. In the past week the net total of active capsules a seen by Lupa grew by almost 15 and we're finding plenty of new material in Geminispace. We also get plenty of requests in Gemini Protocol (about 50,000 per day).
Saying that Gemini (Protocol) is dying seems like an effort at self-fulfilling prophecies. It is trollish at best. █
