Message content

In the past I proposed my own solution to this problem and like

mentioned already, there have been many such proposals which ultimately

haven't been widely accepted.

Almost a year later my opinion is different. I now strongly believe that

gemini shouldn't care about this problem. Instead, maybe we should see

it as a read only medium and let other protocol handle followup

comments.

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?

I know it's only a tiny niche of the geminauts that still use NNTP, but

what else could we agree upon as a common means to communicate in a

relaxed way? Besides, the ones who are already on this newsgroup could

perhaps persuade others to get back or try Usenet for the first time.

This would bring some influx of like-minded tech savvy people back here,

which in my book would be a nice side effect.
