Community for the appreciation and sharing of links, resources, and culture of: the smol web / small web / ~(w)~ / the indie web / or even the non-www internet (gemini, gopher, etc).
Back of a napkin definition, subject to change: if it's internet accessible and is maintained by a person, especially for non-commercial aims, then I would consider it smol. There are, however, much stricter definitions.

Is gopherpunk a reference to gophernet? Wasn't that proprietary and lost out to the world wide web because it's less punk and open source? Maybe hypertext punks should rise up instead.
There's a cool little project based on gopher but open source and much simpler to write content for.
Gemini
My favorite part of the whole thing is that it leaves all styling up to the browser settings. No CSS or funky fonts. Totally content focused and super light weight.
