I was thinking that too. 

 pF> HTML, it renders in any browser, and you can still keep it smol, run it
 
 Why not just show a little restraint? But I suppose if you're trying to make a shadow internet that is not being dictated to you by the dept of bean counting... maybe? 
 I can only give this anecdote: Once upon a time I worked for the Corning Museum of Glass in the Exhibits staff. cmog.org  and it's a corporate museum for Corning Incorporated. So, I was young and just out of school and didn't understand that it's the money that talks. I can remember thinking, wow here I am at a world class museum and I'm in my first exhibits meeting with the curatorial staff. Published PhD's some of them... they were handed their exhibit schedule from the business office... Corning Inc was in business and so was the museum. It wasn't about what the curators wanted to show, it was what the front office thought would bring in people and they would sell tickets around. 
  So, how often are we interacting with websites that have bloated parameters dictated to them, or are we as content creators in a arms race for the shiny? 

  Money talks right, nothing .gmi will be taking the world of commerce by storm any more than Mastodon has overtaken the "hellscape" of X (Twitter) and I think Tumblr must be some sort of joke waiting for a punchline! 
  
  It seems fun enough to play with though, I mean I have a BBS live on my bookshelf too!
