Is there anything like #foursquare or, let's call it, micro place reviews app based on #activitypub ?

@mbajur

while we are doing lots of things to build such a thing afaik not.
Described it here
https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/582
There is also a geo-social taskforce with meetings.

@mbajur Nothing end-user ready I believe, but there is demo work by @swf / @evan that you probably want to follow if you're passionate about this topic: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/04/29/places-pub/

in this model, how can a user manage a location? would it require some sort of claim space ownership?

@ropoko @bonfire I think that's a really good user story. Something like claiming a home or a business?

@evan @bonfire yes, where he mentions "This means also that a place should be managed by one or more user.", just curious how this process would happen

@ropoko @bonfire with places.pub, all the data comes from Open Street Maps. I think it should be possible to create other Place objects on other servers.
