Gemini is not gopher. And no, my comment wasn't malevolent. I took the initiative and added Gopher over TLS to software used by millions of people. It works well.

IMHO, Gemini is just a Frankenstein protocol with no real usecase. You can either use HTTP or use Gopher. It goes against basic philosophy to invent something like Gemini.
