is there anywhere left on the internet that isn't bloated and corrupted? I remember when a time when it was almost magical. now look what it's reduced to. where is left to go?
@hrodnand I'd never even heard of gopher! I've been looking into it all day. thanks for showing this to me. any particular haunts you'd recommend I check out?
@sondering67 you're welcome 😉
Whenever I come back (now and then usually after some time), I usually just start with the "external links" section on Wikipedia. The list of public gopher servers would be my starting point.
gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/world
However, I am far from being a gopher expert 😇
@sondering67 If you are curious to newly try out something old, but honest, have a look for #gopher
No multinationals there.
There is also a mobile browser on #fdroid
