Seeing you mention 2500 put me in mind of the old 2600 magazine... also 2500 weeks is ~48 years, which made me wonder about the demographics of geminispace and the smallnet in general... are we all Gen X here? (I am.)
I am 2500 weeks old.
I still think about Gemini often, but haven’t figured out how to integrate it into my umwelt. My enthusiasm was certainly reduced by the certainty of opinions over metadata and any design control by authors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Despite learning about Gemini not too long ago, I still have not used it. The clearweb is already overwhelming enough for me as it is.
The mailing list was kind of a clustercuddle. The actual experience of using it is a lot better today.
The famous mailing list is dead, poor thing.
To be honest, it was a low volume list with a few opinionated folks. I think it was mostly ok. I'm quite opinionated myself, but I do not have to react, if "someone is wrong on the internet" ... :-)
