The cool thing about Barq for me, though, is that it functions as a proximity IFF transponder--or at least that's how i think of it
because it shows you other furries within range. hypothetically speaking, if there IS a "local furry community" you'd want to connect with, some of them MIGHT be on Barq.
Like, by default, any fur you end up talking to on barq is going to be within hanging out / getting food / social activity range.
Just kinda wish it was a little easier to pitch group activities to the local area. I'd absolutely be interested in knowing if there's any such events happening nearby but as it presently stands i have to actively search through fragnented and static message boards where the proximity feature has no presence, and there may be boards for your area that are not obviously named because the board names are user defined... And frankly, i have too much going on to set aside time for commiting to in-depth perusal on a regular basis where i might not even find out about anything actionable most of the time.
If the fediverse had an optional "see users near me in dirtspace" feature ... I don't think anyone would use it??? I dunno it just feels like the "meeting up with people" task and goal NEED to be compartmentalized to a specific system for that purpose so you can cut it loose entirely at a moments notice without destroying everything...
