Summary: Taking Gemini to the next step (parity in Daily Links) is the main thing that happened this month and the above video takes a journey through some of the changes

FIVE days ago we said we'd starting isolating Gemini and Gopher... or posting such links in isolation, separately in a disjoint fashion (not part of World Wide Web links). We started doing that later in the same day and it has thus far been a success. We shall carry on doing so.



The video above illustrates how Gemini is used and shows some of these latest changes. The video is unscripted and improvised. This planet-like page that updates every 60-minutes is, at least to me, the best way to keep abreast of Geminispace and Gopherholes. But our "Gemini Links", posted at least once a day, are a curated and categorised version of more or less the same thing.

Towards the end of the video I discuss the size of the Gemini community (yes, it's still a community; corporations aren't involved). We hope that more people will join us in Gemini. It helps reduce one's exposure to misinformation, including veiled marketing (the Web has become heavily littered with junk, fake "content" and words that aren't organic, sometimes even machine-generated).
