    If you aren't aware, there's a new hypertext experience out there called Gemini--not the AI. (Google took the name years later and destroyed the Gemini network's SEO. But I digress.) Gemini is a lightweight hypertext network that is officially a fancy Gopher, and unofficially a lightweight WWW. The native document format is Gemtext, which is a pared back Markdown. It's limited, but some people like that. Crucially, it's designed to be easy to implement by an individual.

    As the corporate internet gets worse, we need to think about ways to pool our technological resources. Gemini and BBS's could work well together, I think. Many people attracted to GEmini could be attracted to BBS's. Consider setting up a server. Best I've heard of is gmid:

    Here is Gemtext in a nutshell:

    # Header 1
    ## Header 2
    ### Header 3
    Paragraph
    Quotation
    * List
    https://example.com Link Description
    ```
    Preformatted
    ```

    Maybe you can pass this message on.
