I wish more people would use Gopher.
Create a cool alternative web that isn't filled with harmful degeneracy (looking at you, Tor. I2P ur cool though). I don't think JavaScript in its essence was toxic to the web, like how one snort of heroine isn't technically a killing thing. But it got addicted and all and dragged is down with its demise.
I will look up Gopher because I'm curious, but for less curious people and for other users to see, what is Gopher?
Do we do GPT here?
Gopher is a 1990s-era internet protocol that delivers text and files through simple hierarchical menus.
The small web is a loose movement of minimalist, personal, and non-commercial websites built outside the corporate web.
Gemini is a 2019 protocol for browsing encrypted, text-first sites using a simple markup language called Gemtext.
To connect to Gemini, install a Gemini client like Amfora and open a gemini:// URL.
First impression: good! Looks pretty cool.
this is the start page when I launch Amfora
then I went to Gemini Project, just some address I found on the net
