It's been tried.
Lots of people do use gemini, but I think it's past the point where, if were ever going to catch on, it would have.
Personally, I think it's mostly OK, but went too far with simplifying the gmi spec; it's too simple. And some things that need to be possible for success, aren't, and never can be. I think it's too flawed to have ever caught on.
Wish at least Lemmy and Mastodon (the whole fediverse) were possible to see in Gemini browsers at least (i'm using Lagrange in case anyone wants to try), we are already immune to the technical and commercial obstacles of mainstream web, and are just text and image.
That's exactly what I mean. The FediVerse in general can work fine without JavaScript, CSS, or any cruft, but Gemini is even too simple for that to be an enjoyable experience. IMO.
