Once you have gopher (magical.fish and soon a gopher->gemini bridge, thus gemini://gemi.dev will be available from gopher, and from that, the News Waffle) and irc -> bitlbee to the rest of the networks, you won't need the web at all.

I mean:

gopher->gemini->web via News Waffle, enough to read news sites and blogs

irc->bitlbee->IM and chat networks, from Mastodon to XMPP, Steam, Discord...
