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.

@carlnewton@feddit.uk one advantage to a system like this, is that you don't need it to catch on in a bunch of different communities for it to work. It can catch on even in one place, and it will already be useful for the people there.

Yes, I discovered this for myself yesterday after getting a lot of suggestions that it won't catch on. I can do my best to foster my own community. If others do the same, that's a bonus!
