The following question from a current thread on Hacker News …

Is there a reason why gopher is seeing a resurgence in the tech
sphere?
… got already some nice answers, I think. For instance:

There's a resurgence in general against the "bloated web" […] In a
way, static site generators were a reaction to complex CMS
systems. […] A major catalyst is the Gemini protocol which emerged a
few short years ago and gained some popularity. In the wake of that,
people re-discovered the Gopher protocol as well.

I think it's largely a demonstrative reaction against the
appification/commercialization of the web, built upon gopher’s more
limited interface which is more heavily optimized to a read-only
hypertext use case, which fits a lot of people's nostalgic
idealization of the early web.
