I run a gopher site/hole. but like, the users for that would be a small percentage even on a site like HN. In the wild, I'm going to guess it hasn't cracked a point.

Not exactly a renascence.

Wasn't Gopher fairly un-open model (initially) one of the reasons HTTP/HTML became so much of a thing in the first place?
