I post to my main gemlog about 2-3 per week. I don't think I've ever
written a post specifically about the gemini protocol or gemtext itself,
though there is probably one I'm forgetting about from a few years back.
Most often these days I am posting about electronics or analog
computing, and occasionally astronomy.

I like gemini and gemtext because it is has the simplicity and elegance
of writing a text document, but with a few things added to make it
practical: in particular, hyperlinks, and the gemfeed spec.

I'm subscribed to quite a few feeds from folks who generally don't write
about gemini itself, but rather their hobbies — such as gardening — or
their special areas of expertise. Speaking generally, it seems like most
of the people who are really obsessed with the details of the protocol
itself, or the social movement, end up getting upset about something or
other and leaving in a huff (e.g., "this feature I want wasn't added").
Or going back to some other platform where they will get more likes and
followers.
