Could We Build a Decentralised Social Platform Rooted in Place? (carlnewton.github.io)

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 think part of the issue is the churn burn of mods. New mods all assume everything can be “peacefully resolved” and get taken advantage of OR they truly don’t give a shit and give safe haven to the disrupters by telling squeaky wheels in the community “they don’t break the rules so it’s impossible to ban them.”

Older mods drop the ban hammer typically more and get harassed until they’re tired of it and move on.
