     @KitRedgrave I ran one for a while last year, just for giggles! Turns out It's super easy to get a Gopher site up and running these days, you can stand one up on a Linux box in ten minutes.

     The big hitch is *accessing* it. Web browsers used to include Gopher support, but all the modern ones have either removed that feature (Firefox, I.E.) or never included it in the first place (Chrome, Safari, Edge). So it's hard for anyone to actually read what you publish there.
