Web refers to Gemini here, it being a command-line client for the Gemini web.
These line-based browsers used to be more common, there were a few ones for the www but also ‘ftp’ has such a mode. As does my little ‘nostt’ Teletext reader.

"Gemini web" is a bad name because Gemini's not being part of the web was the main motive in Gemini's creation.
"Geminisphere" or "Geminiverse" would be fine with me as a name for the totality of Gemini servers considered collectively.
It even supports mime types, you can serve text/gemini from an HTTP server, or a text/html file from a Gemini server.
Gemini, not Gopher.
