Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@doerk @winterschon That's why the #geminiprotocol is such a nice thing.
@thorstenzoeller@exquisite.social @doerk@nrw.social yes! I was just mentioning that in another response. love gemini, still need to setup a server. 🤩
@thorstenzoeller @winterschon It is. 99% of the time Images and graphical elements are unnecessary. There are only few reasons for Images, like online shopping or booking your hotel for the next trips. These are things I wouldn’t like to do without having seen a photo. But most times photos are just there to be there, for no good reason.
@doerk @winterschon Exactly, I completely agree. There are definitely situations in which text alone is not sufficient (or other media is preferable), but there are very, very few of those.
And again, https://justinjackson.ca/words.html comes to my mind...
@thorstenzoeller@exquisite.social @doerk@nrw.social that's a great page. reminds me of a purposeful design choice from the Gemini protocol project; it's all text for similar reasons.

@winterschon@bsd.cafe @thorstenzoeller@exquisite.social The only thing Gemini lacks is bold and cursive fonts. At least it seems like this is not possible.
