A post given a latitude and longitude becomes LocalGeo: its position is
rounded to two decimals (about a kilometre) and stored as a 2dsphere
point, its radius clamped to 1-50 km, and it is local only - no Create,
no delivery, no outbox, never in the Mastodon API or on a profile page.
/clientapi/post/nearby takes the viewer's position for the query only
(it is neither stored nor logged), runs $geoNear and keeps posts within
each post's own radius, minus authors the viewer blocks or mutes. A
located post cannot be direct or in a group.
