getting rid of the web
its time to get this conversation started: the web is a horse shit sprawl of adhoc broken protocols/fmts. its growing and becoming a mandatory part of goydom (tax, bank, bills, even health). we need to get rid of it.
what is this [missing font] [missing font] [U+8877] bullshit, i dont need nor ever wanted unicode suck my fucking dick, i dont want ur font, i SPECIFICALLY dont want ur fonts nor themes and never would. css doesnt need to exist cus i dont need ur theme it serves no fucking value
we should retreat back to printable ASCII only until a real standard emerges
and a subset of html
and a subset of images, only jpeg/png in portable renditions thereof
decide a video / audio fmt / container
make a browser that actually works on this bare minimum
>inb4 TEXTMODE
kys LARPer
the primary use for the web should b viewing static documents. you should even b able to save them. and put them on freenet/IPFS
HTTPS is usless. decide a signature fmt, each document should be signed with ur key (how else would pppl know when u make new articles) and in a way not specific to autistic tranny tier horse shit like freenet/IPFS

We already have it, it's called PostScript. Anything ranging from NeWS to PDF does everything the web was supposed to, but better.

The entire SCRIPT/SGML/XML lineage was a wrongheaded idea, and will hopefully be buried some day.

The main issue w/gopher & gemini atm is that ALL the content is tech about using gopher and gemini. There's nobody reviewing a videogame, anime, book, a hobby site, a teenager's angst blog, etc..

There are people writing blogs and whatnot, but it's hard to stumble upon them as they don't have centralized sites, just like how the world wide web worked before social media. And we live in a world where normalfags are scared shitless of most /tech/ things, so most of them wouldn't even dare to download a browser for gopher or gemini, therefore it's mostly /tech/-savvy people use them, and they will naturally tend to write a lot about /tech/ stuff.

there will never be another web built on tranime and hobby blogs. it will never happen again. tranime and reddit hobbies are not appealing to real humans.

The OG web wasn't exactly built by real humans. Real humans, afaik, are these weird freaks that lives in these sanitized double decker cookie cutter suburbia homes that have ZERO mess or clutter in them and where whenever you talk to them the only thing they seem to be able to regurgitate is the latest sports game and/or a vacation/boating actviity.

I dunno, look at any old newsgroup or listserve archive, and you'll mostly see [email protected] or [email protected] addresses, with a sig that's either a banal mainstream quote like George Carlin or baby's first meme like roflcopter. I think what changed in 2007 or even 1994 wasn't that normalfags were online, but that ALL OF THEM are online.

Go contribute to Neocities and implement Gopher/Gemini support. The website already supports RSS so I think supporting another (minimal) protocol would be a welcome idea.

Those people made the best software though, especially university students. I would happily go back to a time where only these groups had internet access.

>Go contribute to Neocities and implement Gopher/Gemini support. 
You'd need a proxy service that strips all the code that makes neocities page into neocities pages. I don't mean that it would be complicated from a technical standpoint, what I mean is that the end result would look like what you'd see if you visited the page in a text browser, and that goes against the spirit of neocities. Not that I'm a fan of neocities, as most sites look horrible in my opinion, but what you suggests sounds like trying to implement an imageboard on reddit.

Who said anything about a proxy service? My proposed end goal is writers creating gopher-only (or gopher-first) blogs for free, not retrofitting cancerous HTML into gopher. It could be gopher or Gemini, whichever is more feasible to implement.

A service similar to Neocities for Gemini called Gemcities exists, but it has a typical censorious ToS that prohibits "hate speech" and so on, so it's shit. https://www.gemcities.com/terms
