When people go back to using Gopher, you know the Web has turned to shit. I hope something good can come from these alternative protocols, a new space where oldtimers like me can focus on honest information exchange (what the Internet used to be), without the corporate behemoths tracking our every move.

Google's motto used to be "to organize the world's information". It's a daily occurrence where I'm wasting enormous amounts of time because Google search produces results of such low quality as to defy belief (startup opportunity right there, it's gotten so bad somebody should eat their lunch by doing a better search).

I'm yearning for an alternative that's close to what I experienced two decades ago.
