 So @sequel is not the only social network I've seen that runs through Gemini. Station is another one: gemini://station.martinrue.com/ However, Station is centralized. What I find interesting about @sequel is that it plausibly works more like Mastodon -- you could plausibly run your own server. 8 comments
 @Peternimmo You can connect a crypto wallet to your @sequel account. It's not necessary. @atomicpoet @sequel thanks for the explanation. But can I therefore frame my question differently? Why have Sequel thought it necessary to offer their customers the option of paying in cryptocurrency? @atomicpoet @sequel I am failing to see where Gemini fits in all their stuff, like ok, you can see their homepage and read-only view of the stuff happening, but that doesn't mean it's "using the Gemini protocol". |

As others have noted, @sequel has a bit of an NFT component.
I don't like that, but it is optional.
I'm not telling you to join @sequel, but I want to draw your attention to how the Gemini protocol is being used to create a decentralized social network. Anyway you cut it, that is unique and novel.
And if you don't like @sequel, at least now you have an interesting proof of concept.
