Could We Build a Decentralised Social Platform Rooted in Place?

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 hadn't heard of Yikyak, but it looks very similar to my mock-up. Thanks
Oh it was a glorious shit show. Look into what happened. In my area it wound up basically grindr
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.
