Since then, GitHub has continued to deteriorate, with problems such as: feature bloat, over-engineering, slow response times when loading content, real ID verification for some features.

So I had been using AV-98 by solderpunk as a gemini client, which was last updated 3 years ago according to the repository on tildegit. Anyhow, the recent lack of maintenance has been catching up […]
