Gemini is for hipsters who want to look like they like Gopher, but can't live without their cat pics.

(Said in jest, of course)

Gemini lives rent free in the heads of like 99% of HN users. It's really weird. Look at any Gemini network posts on here. So much hate for a little network that just sits there and does its thing.

You reminded me that many years ago I gave some Microsoft sales folks grief for dropping Gopher from IIS, and then I wondered whether IIS still existed, and that led me to discover that iis.net was retired this summer.

https://www.iis.net/

And I still don’t know whether IIS itself still exists.
