Exploring the idea of a decentralised social platform based on location.

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.

    There was a nonfederated one. Elk talk, or Oxes. Anyway, most useful on college campuses. Pointing this out for reseach.

    Sounds great!

    Edit: It was yikyak!

          I think that’s the beauty of the fediverse though. Any community can be anything you want it to be. If some users don’t like how an instance is being used, they could create a competing instance that’s more aimed that their wants and needs.
