I just mentioned that because I expected someone to say "but privacy...", because privacy and encryption go hand in hand. And my argument is that the encryption we usually think of in the context of the web is TLS, and it is not a good fit in that context.
The goal here is to publish information for everyone to see, it is not secret messaging, what you may want to protect is your identity. There are networks especially designed for this, and you are better off using these, but if you are not, then I believe that accessing a HTTP website through an anonymizing proxy (like TOR) is better at protecting your identity than relying on the TLS layer of HTTPS or Gemini.
