What if the authors that are interested in replies to their posts would
cross-post their content, or maybe just a link to their gemini content,
here on Usenet?

Usenet is clearly the technically correct choice for public

discussions. But on the other hand, I also feel like it puts an undue

burden on people wanting to reply or comment.

What I kind of like is the idea of there being an expectation that

authors put a contact email on the front page of their site (whether

that's at the top level of the domain, or under a ~user directory), and

ideally also in a file under /.well-known. It should also be generally

accepted that this address could be a secondary, anonymous, or throwaway

address.
