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.

So, Hometown fork of Mastodon

I'll look into that, thanks. If someone has already done the work that'd be amazing!

The Hometown functionality isn't what I'm describing. I want something in which the experience is about physical proximity to the subject. I may be bad at explaining this. Thanks for the suggestion though.
