Summary: We take a quick look at SimplyNews in Moonlander and explain why more people may wish to consider Gemini for their news surfing/reading

FOLLOWING this morning's review of Moonlander we're explaining why people might want to use Gemini, e.g. for reading news without all the surveillance and clutter/noise/propaganda. Some weeks ago SimplyNews was announced; it converts some mainstream news sites and tabloids into Gemini pages, which are indexed in gemini://simplynews.metalune.xyz (I show this in the video above). We've already explained how to set up a Gemini server of your own with agate (Free software). It's easier than setting up a Web site and it's so simple/light that it can be self-hosted. Therefore also cheaper... ⬆
