I haven't Gem'd, yet, but I use IRC (Irssi in CLI) in tilde.chat, and fosstodon/libera.chat. Gopher seems like a good protocol, to me, so I may explore that at some point. Then `finger` and whatever else is there, and will always be.
Hubs and corners and nooks and dark corners of the Internet (avoiding the (smaller) term "Web", as computer communication is so much more) are still where I/we make them. I recall sitting in front of the Atari 2600 with a 32 inch CRT TV with crickets and silence, bleeping and booping though an 8 bit game after the family had fallen asleep - no calls were made/received, nothing awake at that hour other than crickets, just in a dark void of thought and tranquility, lit by only the colors of the game in front.
It's the same now, if one creates that environment. No rules to say one can't. An amber-tinted command line with IRC or whatever TUI shenanigans I like, little Web use (as the Web simply sucks, I have little use for it), and I'm a happy camper.
Stay well, wolf
