I still use gopher. I even operate a gopher hole at

gopher://gcpp.world

We have a growing community that is really friendly. Freenode has a number of
gopher channels and the members are helpful. People with coding skills have 
created interesting scripts that scrape html content from websites and dump 
them on a gopher page. One even does this with RSS feeds and, essentially, any
of the feeds I have been reading are now read solely on that gopher site. No
ads, no cookies, trackers, autoplaying html5 vids... Just pure text.

WElcome to the club.
