Are folks retreating from the LLM hellscape of the web to Gopher or Gemini protocols?

I'd really like to hear from folks about what's going on in the "small web" these days. Where to look for info, is one protocol gaining/losing tracking, or have they attracted userbases with different interests?

Any fedi-like communities on these protocols?

Boosts for visibility are appreciated, but there's no pressure to do so.

I built a Gopher applet so you can browse a very early 2000s forum...
using an even older protocol.

This felt necessary.

The README is the executable (literate Haskell).

🖤 calling unix weirdos

I wrote a manifesto about
Gopher, techno-romance, and why small systems beat scale
(“Intimacy in the Forgotten Stack”).

Before I throw it at Hacker News, I want eyes from people who actually love MUDs, telnet, suckless, smallnet, and human-scale software.

Reply or DM if you want the private draft. 🖥️✨

🐹 I built an MMO RPG where live Gopherspace itself is the game world.

You can:

🗺️ explore real Gopher servers
🔍 discover files → get loot 💎
💬 leave comments on files, like on my RFC (pic)
⚔️ attack players and steal their loot

▶️ Play instantly (web):
https://gopher.someodd.zip/1/gateway/games/grpg/look/

▶️ Native Gopher link:
gopher://gopher.someodd.zip/1/gateway/games/grpg/look/

📄 The game is a README file.

Asking for help from the #retrocomputing community: anyone with real hardware wants to share pictures of their #Gopher clients showing this page ?

gopher://lacra.ia.br/0/defogo/viajar-no-tempo

#lacraia is a text oriented writing site for people in Brazil powered by #WriteFreely and as such also readable via Gopher. I made a post where I want to share the page above shown on various old platforms.

So if you have such hardware please point your client to the link above and reply here with a picture. I would be very grateful and so happy to link to them in further edits to the page.

Note the page is in Portuguese so it uses 8859-1 encoding to show Latin accents — which may or may not work on your system and it’s ok.

PS: Don’t be afraid of the .ia.br in the domain name. It is an intentional 🇧🇷 joke about texts being written by pesky humans.

Modern web needs like 100MB just to say "Hello World". I went the other way.

Introducing GASM: A Gopher server in pure i386 Assembly.

💾 Binary: 1.2KB (Striped)
🧠 RAM: 24KB (Verified with pmap)
🚫 Dependencies: 0 (No libc, pure syscalls)
🦕 Min Spec: Intel 386DX (1985)

Probably runs on the shittiest hardware you can find, or on your Ryzen 9.
