it would be cool if posts could be geo-tagged - feddit.org

i see a lot of news about australian politics, news of seattle, darmstadt, brazil, … all places where i don’t live, where the posts aren’t relevant to me. it would be cool to be able to tag posts/communities with a geographical location so i can easily filter which posts are / aren’t probably relevant to me. in one setting in my profile, instead of having to block each community individually (there’s hundreds of them at this point)

i propose that each post has a (one or many) geo_tag fields that just link to the canonical wikipedia page about the place, for example,

{ "post_id": 1543535, "geo_tags": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne" ] }

Why invent new stuff for this? AS2 has the location property and Place object, which imo should be used for this. It's not like the request here requires functionality not enabled by those.
