Thank you for this <3
This reminds me of this: http://textfiles.com/
If there’s one thing I can give Gemini credit for, is that it’s simple enough that should something break HTTP everywhere all at once, maybe this could be brought up, where nerds could talk to each other. Actually, nerds can talk to each via Gemini now even without a total internet apocalypse.
It’s a novelty kind of communication, like cups tied with a taut string, or short wave radio.
Some of us still browse gopher.
Excuse me if i’m a bit evangelical, but IPFS (or maybe scuttlebutt for multi-way communication) would be much better suited to that.
I really fail to see the point in server-based stuff nowadays unless you’re in a specific controlled environment where distribution would just be inefficient. P2P is simply the way to go for something that you want to work with whatever infrastructure can be cobbled together from tin cans and hairpins.
