I have a similar feeling when browsing on geminispace.
There's something about the rawness of the medium and the predominance of text, that feels like sitting down on a typewriter to write.
I've read the most random, weird, and wonderful things on gemini lately, which I would: a) not expect to find on the web anymore, or b) even if I did, I think I would have somehow walked past it completely. This is despite the fact that some of the content is mirrored in the normal web as well!
The last thing I read was this: gemini://jsreed5.org/math/20210922-the-geometry-of-the-trigonometric-maclaurin-series/index.gmi (ironically, it features images and math, so less of the 'typewriter feel' ... but still.)

Great stuff!
