5 years ago, at the end of 2020 or thereabouts, we began experimenting with Gemini Protocol. Back then (at the very start) our capsule wasn't in the same shape that it is in right now.

There are now people who regularly read us over Gemini Protocol. The same is true for the sister site. We develop our SSG to make this process simpler.

Next year this site turns 20. Its future has been secured and interest in the site continues to grow. Today we published many articles and on average we publish about 500-550 per month.

Seeing that LLM slop is waning, we are optimistic about the future of the Net, but not the Web. Because there is already far too much slop on the Web, unlike Geminispace.

One might say we escaped to Geminispace 2 years before the deluge of slop on the Web. █
