There's also the original pre-web Gopher protocol, which has been getting a lot more users since being mentioned on HN a few weeks ago together with Gemini. Gopher seems to appeal to people who like retro-computing - the TLS requirement of Gemini rules out even older Macs, nevermind the Apple IIs and Commodore 64s that can still access Gopher.
For anyone curious, Phetch is a really good terminal-based browser for Gopher written in Rust [1], and Jaruzel's Gopher Browser For Windows is a very easy to use GUI browser that also supports image files. Both are under 1MB. (If you're running Haiku OS, Gopher is still built-in to the default WebPositive browser.)
