      Gemini is encrypted by default, but they both share a lot of similarities.

      Similar idea, but entirely new. I don’t think many people even here know what Gopher is.

          I considered mentioning it, but I’ve been accused of being far older than I am, simply because I know about things from the past, so I skipped it.

        I remember seeing it mentioned here and there in 96, 97 when I first got access to internet. I was never curious enough to dig further. I just know it’s another protocol…

          I used Gopher a bit, but we were just looking for free games, and usually ended up on a big college FTP server.

          Then Netscape changed it all.

          Eventually Hotline came along and was our favorite way to get warez.
