Over the past year or so I’ve been playing with the idea of a decentralised social platform based on your location. By putting physical location at the centre of the experience, such a platform could be used to bring communities together and provide a source of local information when travelling. Please let me know what you guys think.

I think this could be easily achived with an activitypub FEP and an alternative Frontend for Mastodon etc.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Hey, you're the second person to suggest that it could be achieved with Mastodon. I'll look into it, and if it can be achieved with Mastodon in the way that I'm picturing, I won't be reinventing the wheel, thanks.
