@susie@blob.cat @adiz@soc0.outrnat.nl @aks@scalie.zone Media is a big part of it, but I think it also would've been nice if it just tried to be less like the web, paradoxically.

For instance, here's an idea I've had when I was still invested in Gemini. Sites all have a hierarchial structure which is presented by a menu. With Gopher and HTTP, the menu is implemented by web masters using links.
But what if instead the protocol included a specification to define the hierarchy which the browser then can download and use to show a menu itself? This would be amazing because on the desktop, browsers can just show a menu bar at the top, but on mobile it could be a hamburger menu instead -- all without CSS and viewport queries. *That's* the sort of thinking that would've yielded a good alternative.
