The term "capsule", widely used in the Gemini world, may become

overloaded with this new project:

https://capsule.social/

The Web site is empty but there is a longer presentation:

A new project from Nadim? Interesting.

Anyway, I think it?s okay since it?s mostly a jargon term used by users

rather than the name of a core element of the protocol. I would be more

worried if it was named Gemini Protocol ahahah.
