3. If you are looking for something that recreates even earlier internet experiences, try this:

Gemini is an application-layer internet communication protocol for accessing remote documents, similar to HTTP and Gopher. It comes with a special document format, commonly referred to as "gemtext", which allows linking to other documents. Started by a pseudonymous person known as Solderpunk, the protocol is being finalized collaboratively and as of October 2022, has not been submitted to the IETF organization for standardization.

Lagrange is a geminispace browser similar to modern-day http browsers.

Aside from a few narrowly focused technical sites where discussions of politics and religion are not welcome, DU is my only "social media."

Instagram, reddit, facebook, the-site-formerly-known-as-twitter, etc., are excluded from my private universe.

I've been on the internet since the late 'seventies. These days I just want most of it to get the fuck off of my lawn.
