Not that I'm aware of. There's all of the fediverse peer-to-peer stuff
(ActivityPub, Scuttlebutt, etc.) but I don't consider that to be in
the same category as this list and I'm not very familiar with them.

There are probably more than a dozen message boards built on top of
Gopher and Gemini, most of them modelled after chan-style image boards
or traditional web forums. gemini://station.marinrue.com is the only
one I know of that takes a shot at copying a twitter-like social feed.

Also, maybe it's just the circles that I hang out in, but BBS (over
telnet) seems to be rising in popularity again.

Best,
Michael
