This is not an IETF project but it's an interesting project since it
has explicit political goals (distributing information without
tracking, and with the ability to have very simple clients, instead of
humongus Web browwers).

Creating a protocol where it is *difficult* to add bloat and
surveillance features is not easy. Gemini is *not* extensible and it
is a feature, not a bug.

IETFers will certainly prefer to read the specification:

If you want to jump on your keyboard to criticize, I suggest to read
the FAQ first, it may addresses your criticism:
