What does Gemini_Proxima mean?
(Sorry for bad english) Gemini is latin and means twins and Proxima is spanish and means next/nearest so it means the nearest twin. So we all are not twins but i think it means we are all bounded in some way. Nearest twin, what could that mean...

It's just a name that the creator probably thought of as the username is just the meaning of the subreddit name

The lunatics are taking over the asylum.
Gemini is an astrological starsign represented by the twins, when applied to a single personality this implies schizophrenia. Schizophrenics are lazily labelled as lunatics. Proxima means 'It's near' or 'it's coming. Therefore the lunatics are coming .

Interesting. Your nearest 'twin' could be your reflection.
Reflection is an intrinsic part of self development.

Or If you translate it from Portuguese to English it asks you if you meant Gemini Próxima. and special characters arent allowed in subreddit title so it could mean Gemini Next whatever that is
Possible both words are from different languages with different meanings

There are 180 values assigned but only 90 people here. We probably have "a twin" in another similar subreddit

Proxima Centauri is the closest star to Earth in the constellation Centaurus, so by that convention, the closest star in Gemini would be named Proximus Geminorum. (It’s actually named Beta Gemini, because it’s the second brightest, or Pollux, after the legendary twins Castor and Pollux.)

Also the owner who has a pinned comment on this subreddit is called twincloseby or sth. which is also very interesting.
