(#4w3ilsa) @cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org What’s “the gemini tx model”? 🤔

(#4w3ilsa) @cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. 👌

(#4w3ilsa) @bender@twtxt.net Yup, that’s where my web search ended up as well. 🥴

(#4w3ilsa) More interesting aspects about Antenna:

At first, I thought that Antenna acted like a “traditional” blog aggregator, but that’s not really the case. You know, with a blog aggregator, you would normally contact the owner and ask them to include your feed. That step is not needed with Antenna.

So, when someone publishes a blog/gemlog post and you would like to “reply” to it, you can just do that: Write your post and then publish the link on Antenna. This means your Gemini capsule doesn’t need to be well known in order to participate. If I read something interesting and would like to reply, I could do that right now – instead of having to wait for the webmaster of the aggregator to include/unlock my feed.

Also, it’s just arbitrary Gemini links in Antenna – unlike a blog aggregator, where everything is a blog post. So I just saw someone publishing a link titled “A wild twtxt appears” and that’s just a link to their twtxt file.

In many ways, this thing is a bit more like a forum than a blog aggregator. Or maybe you could also call it a “bus”.

(#4w3ilsa) @asquare@asquare.srht.site Yeah, that would have been overkill. :-) Hello and welcome, btw. 👋
