I like the Gemini Protocol, but — I think too many of the other small-net protocols try to mimic Gemini.

One alternative path that small-net & small-web communities could try is —

Make a new version of the HTTP protocol.

One that includes small-net values.

A small-net HTTP (HTTP/1.4 ?) server could be backwards compatible, such that extant web-browsers could see something (even if the experience is better in a small-net web-browser).

#HTTP #HTTP_1_4 #smallNet #smallWeb #smolNet #smolWeb

RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/115352274818575263

This probably means that someone should modernize HTTP by creating HTTP/1.4.

#HTTP #HTTP_1_4 #Unicode #UTF8 #WorldWideWeb
