Our 5-Year Geminispace Anniversary is Coming Up
Earlier today we pointed out that there's an almost 20% growth in Geminispace in just over a year. "There are 4690 capsules," Lupa said this morning. "We successfully connected recently to 3158 of them."
I still remember when Gemini Protocol was quite new; when I joined in there were only 400 or 500 known capsules.
In winter we'll celebrate 5 years in Geminispace and this past week (so far, not over yet) we've served 525,509 Gemini requests, not including 147,728 in Tux Machines, so that's almost 700,000 in less than a week.
People used to mock Geminispace as some sort of negligible niche that nobody would bother reading. Some of these people wasted their time on "engagement" (e.g. pressing "like") in Facebook, thinking they'd "miss out" by skipping social control media altogether. What they really missed out on was Geminispace - that's where many people (not slop bots) hang out.
Gemini Protocol or Geminispace was based on the idea or built upon the premise that the Web - including 'webapps' like social control media - got things wrong and everything had to be redone, this time properly. â–ˆ
