Probably very difficult due to network effect indeed. Also privacy would be a challenge I guess?
This could be used for privacy.

There’s also a new technology that allows sharing of proximity data without sharing location. I’m not finding it now, though.
Ps. I tend to think that NOSTR is a far better protocol for this type of idea for the same reasons I’m looking at NOSTR instead of Pub/Sub for my federated inventory idea.
It's more how to keep the information between two people, such as messages. As we know, messages on Lemmy can be seen by admins
You could give a handle for matrix chat for that.
Matrix chat are private between the participants.
Not everything needs to happen in the Fediverse. E.g, you can have the messaging part delegated to email, xmpp, matrix... Then you add a system where the other party needs to send a "request for contact info" separate from the public profile.
Indeed. A lot of places that offer encrypted messaging are just built on things like XMPP without most people realising. WhatsApp is, I believe.
