Well we can always go back to gopher: https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/specification.gmi https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/specification.gmi And/or start using Gemini: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol) https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/specification.gmi https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/specification.gmi I have moved my site to gopher/gemini. It is far easier to maintain and there are a lot of interesting sites sitting there. Just a few: * gemini://sdf.org * gemini://gem.sdf.org/ * gopher://sdf.org * gopher://magical.fish * gopher://gopher.floodgap.com

This is really interesting! I remember gopher from back in the day- I didn't know it still existed even as a protocol. Wouldn't that be an interesting development, for web browsing shifting to a "have-to" paradigm (for work, for other utilitatarian purposes) from a "want-to" paradigm. Would spam dry up if the web were no longer populated by the masses merely whiling away idle time?
