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.

Yeah what if you plan to go on holiday, can you peak into that country or state's instance ahead of time to see what things are happening? Can you join that instance while you're physically on vacation?

I detail that the benefit of this idea is that you can do exactly this using the Nearby feed.
