I don't really know what is the definition either (I just guessed when I
was making a list).

I commonly use SMTP, NNTP, and IRC. (I run my own mail server, so I do not
need IMAP.) I am also on ifMUD, which I use a plain TCP connection with
line mode.

(I have also used plain TCP connection when playing a RPG over internet
with only one player and the GM, using nc, ts, and tee, to make the
connection and to make log files.)

I do not commonly use FTP, but have occasionally done sometimes.

It is also possible to post a file on multiple services, if this is
desirable, although there are a few considerations of doing this, too.
(It would work best for plain ASCII text files, probably)

But, if you prefer to post your files on only gopher, then I think that
also works; you can easily link between them anyways (although in Gopher
you must use the "hURL" trick because it doesn't have a "proper" way to
do it), and many Gemini clients also implement Gopher too.
