If Gemini had picked markdown instead of gemtext I would've jumped in with both feet.

I get it though -- they're trying to resurrect gopher, which is what gemtext is a modernification of.

Still, I think markdown is our best shot at recovering the real web.

And yes, I know there's a standardization problem. Just pick a standard and run with it. Difficulty picking one is not a reason to pick none. And in case it wasn't obvious I'm talking about markdown without embedded html here.
