I always hoped that kind of thing would be done by relays. Relays can be easily be local. Well, in fact Japanese relays already block anyone that isn't Japanese.

My point wouldn’t be about blocking. It’s more about a client tuning in to the noise and give “far away” notes less priority. Like in real life where you need to go somewhere to hear a person speak.

The scaling factors of a note could be: distance and noise (real people get soar throats and cannot scream the whole day, this helps against spam) overridable by the listener.

Tags are discrete and not numeric. Location and loudness would be aggregatable, calculatable, interpolatabe.

In that case different algorithms for distance could be used instead of just geographical location.
