Hi!

Your post was pretty interesting!

I have a comment on one small part of your post:
> perhaps even a clever protocol for "web forums" generally.

There's already a protocol for that!  It's called Usenet (built on the
UUCP protocol much like Gemini is built on the TLS protocol):
=3D> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
=3D> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUCP

While the old Usenet network is inactive and filled with spam, there's
not much stopping a new Usenet network from rising.  It's federated,
lightweight (but not too minimalist), easy to set up; it really is a lot
like an ActivityPub-Gemini fusion for internet forums.  Write a few
fancy clients rather than the 30-40 year old existing clients, host a
few federated servers (independent from the existing Usenet network),
generate some hype, and I could see it being a Fediverse for forums.

Just an interesting tidbit that I wanted to share.
