Might I suggest that Twitter refugees include their generalized location in bios? The process of reestablishing a network will result in making new connections and you may not always know someone's location.

More importantly, this place is far less American-centric than Twitter, and having to ID as American (if you are) might remind you that the US is not the entire world.

@emptywheel Plus, a giant corporation isn't going to hoover up and monetize your location data.

@darius I was reading in the ActivityPub spec and was fascinated by the Arrive activity type. Could it be used for this purpose?

@irwin @emptywheel no idea! possibly! (uhhh remember Dopplr??)
