I'm likely naive, but I'm very excited about a future that abandons the web and builds on reticulum. But I worry that the same flaws will be replicated out of habit instead of using it as a chance to avoid the dark paths.Reticulum uses a proof of work "stamp" as a user side defense against not like behavior.

Gemini’s gemtext format (or plain Markdown, maybe Commonmark) over Reticulum would be ideal. No JS, no tracking, no complex HTML/CSS with associated parser vulnerabilities.Make a simple form protocol for things like posting comments. Maybe based on OpenAPI?
Solderpunk (Gemini creator) was correct that HTML and JS were both problems, but he didn’t foresee that the legacy TCP/IP client/server model could become a liability. The Gemini format is great, but the TOFU-based security layer is awkward and unnecessary with a proper overlay network that provides encryption and cryptographic IDs instead of domains. It’s also better not to expose your server IP these days.

It's always funny to see Gemini brought forward as an alternative to the web. It's a cute protocol for sharing simple documents but it excludes so many use cases. How would you order a shirt online? No sessions and no forms means no interactivity.by malmz

interesting - this looks quite promising. anything that reduces captchas or client blocks while using a VPN is welcome in my books.i’m not sure what they mean about agents, however. would this mean a human generates legitimate traffic, and that goodwill can then be utilised by a browser agent? and will it be possible to host your own Moderator?
