For what is worth, I've worked and implemented a similar idea that I

think still stay aligned with Gemini idea:

gemini://gmi.bacardi55.io/gemlog/2022/02/27/my-take-on-gemlog-replies/

It isn't popular at all and most responses I got where negative but

the concept works (and is in place on my capsule) 🤷.

Cheers,
