Comment on What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design?

If we’re doing wishful thinking, I’d love an age and location mechanism.
Theres currently no way to do this with privacy and security in mind. Because it’s just a clusterfuck of issues.
But, again - wishful thinking. It would be cool hell to be able to actually have spaces for specific ages, or specific locations.
All the eurocentric communities forcing the end user to be from europe. Imagine a community for only 40-60yos, or a real teenager community without the creepos.
My city has a forum for each generation (millennials, gen X, etc) and the conversations and chats are lightyears better than anything else. We have RL meetups and BBQs. It’s a real community. Trolls quickly get booted and those who were assholes beg to come back after apologizing.

I think having instances or communities dedicated to that would be wonderful.
I think having separate identity providers would work well with this. Those identity providers could optionally verify age and location, and your instance can just trust them on that to make it exclusive to certain ages or locations.
