HEY! I think we all noticed that privacy is dying. Government and corporate entities around the world are building the laws and tools to track you, from everything you write, to the media you consume, to where you drive your car and the people you associate with. Gopher I believe Is one of the last bastions of freedom away from what I call “Corpo web”. GopherSpace is free, I wrote my client so I know it’s safe, and I can route my traffic over tor or any proxy of my choosing. I think we should use gopher as a means to communicate and get out of the modern corpo web because soon everything you do and say on the modern web or possibly corporate owned devices is under scrutiny, even more so than it ALREADY IS. Right now I can use tor and my custom gopher cli to communicate privately here. With the ways the laws are going they are going to implement things like age verification to track you and they’ll deem privacy focused open source software as tools for circumventing these rules. It’s a slippery slope. I need to stop writing before I sound really crazy.
