There is no way to retreat into a pre-internet era. Instead of self-flagellating and guilt-tripping, pretending we can escape our wired future by unplugging, we need to take our participation in the medium seriously and in a way that integrates well with our offline organization. -- Roderic Day
In my mind gemini exists to wall off a space away from advertisers and billionaire news sites. It exists for the rest of us. For document sharing, story telling, and interesting new ideas. A possible future would involve replacing portions of the old web with small purposeful protocols and tools that have learned from the mistakes that allowed the web to be captured. Leaving only a shrinking portion of web apps and "interactive posters" on http, while at the same time fighting the material forces that ruined our internet in the first place.
The weapon of criticism cannot, of course, replace criticism by weapons; material force must be overthrown by material force. -- Marx
Also Jazzi is a gemini she says.
