    I take it for granted that users must be able to decide upon the precision of the #geocoding they use for their postings.

    And that they must also be able to decide upon the geogaphic range of search when they lookup #georef|erenced postings.

    The location property of the #ActivityVocabulary does not only support exact locations but also areas in the sense that it allows for ›logical locations‹.

    A logical location could be ›near Berlin«, but also a #geocode with reduced precision.

    Relax, no one is seeking to re-invent any wheel.

    This thread is more about usability than it is about implementation.

    No one can make use of #semantic properties in a vocabulary as long as they do not show up in frontends.

    So, rather than deter consideration, let's keep the dialogue going.

    After some testing, it would be worth to consider #geocoding of postings as a #FeatureRequest to #Fediverse developers, preferably not as #hashtag but as a separate property of postings, like #ContentWarning:

    #SemanticFediverse

    CW is implemented using the #abstract property of #ActivityPub.

    To create a CW when boosting a #Friendica posting on #Mastodon, the author uses [abstract] markup in the Friendica posting.

    Similar may be possible for #geocode|s.
