The Old Internet Shows Signs of Quietly Coming Back
Shameless plug: I recently wrote a gopher client library for Deno, just for fun. https://github.com/matt1/deno-gopher
I also cleaned-up the weird formatting of the Gopher+ protocol and put it on github as a formatted markdown file since it was never and official RFC so trawling through an unstructured txt file when trying to implement the protocol was a pain: https://github.com/gopher-protocol/gopher-plus
Hope it is useful for someone implementing new gopher code like I was! :)

Lagrange: A Beautiful Gemini Client
I think it is a bit of a chicken and an egg problem. There are a few Gopher+ servers out there, and the Gopher+ protocol is pretty flexible and designed with the metaverse in mind originally (see GopherVR from the original authors).
It is a shame that a lot of current Gopher users seem to be strongly against anything apart from standard Gopher, when the original authors of the protocol had much grander ideas for interactivity & visual interfaces. Sigh.
For anyone interested, the Gopher+ protocol doc never made it to a proper RFC, but is on github in a hyper-linked format to make it easier to read: https://github.com/gopher-protocol/gopher-plus/blob/main/gop...
https://github.com/gopher-protocol/gopher-plus/blob/main/gop... specifically mentions 3D representations of Gopherspace.

Ask HN: Why can't I host my own email
nostr (https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr) seems to be a minimal possible solution. It doesn't seem to be much in use though, so I guess once that happens a few issues will come up.

Facebook to allow calls for violence against Putin
Nostr [1] seems interesting. I don't trust the idea of "relays" on the long term but it seems like it should be possible to develop alternative ways to distribute the content, and it can be a way to bootstrap the network in the short term. Though at this moment it seems a bit too bare-bones, and it would need some interesting application built on top of it to make it usable.

Towards a Greater Federated Architecture: What does a next-gen Fediverse platform look like? How features might help the network move forward?
https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr comes to mind as so far the best example of p2p social networking.

Ask HN: Getting Started with Web3 Development
I don’t know if this is the answer you’re looking for because it’s not tied to a cryptocurrency but take a look at nostr: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr
It’s a protocol that allows nodes to gossip event messages amongst each other. The event relays can be used as a backend to provide data to your web/desktop/mobile apps.

The Nostr Protocol - NIP01
Nostr stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays". It is a new type of social experience on the web where "dumb" relays can be used to send messages from one user to another, in a secure, censorship resistant manner.
