I've never heard of someone suffering from reading addiction.
Nor have I, but in the back of my mind I thought that reading hasn't always been well thought of. Reading about reading on Wikipedia was more interesting than I expected.
You're supposed to read out loud.
In his Confessions, Saint Augustine remarks on Saint Ambrose's unusual habit of reading silently in the 4th century AD.
Readers are just sheep!
Some thinkers of [17th/18th Ccentury] believed that construction, or the creation of writing and producing a product, was a sign of initiative and active participation in society - and viewed consumption (reading) as simply taking in what constructors made.
Reading is immoral!
In 18th-century Europe, the then new practice of reading alone in bed was, for a time, considered dangerous and immoral. [snip] Some modern critics, however, speculate that these concerns were based on the fear that readers - especially women - could escape familial and communal obligations and transgress moral boundaries through the private fantasy worlds in books.
Confession time: occasionally, I read aloud in bed. Baaaa!

I implemented the finger protocol in Jemi, my Gemini client. I can now follow finger links, but they're not so easy to find. So here are some.
Finger others:

I also implemented inline links in Jemi. If there's a URL or a hashtag, it now shows as a link.
I felt a little naughty doing this. Maybe I'm breaking the spirit of gemtext?! Or maybe I'm just making rendering decisions. It's only really me that's seeing the links.
=> I said in the faq that I couldn't put links in your content...
...well, now I can put them there, but only when I'm looking at it.

My crawler is still ignoring new posts, so it's down until I fix that. I fixed other things today (see above).
