Any time I see a #GM, #GN, #sunrise, or #sunset post, I think to myself that person just exposed their timezone, through which their general location could also be approximated.

I wonder if a technology could exist that would publicly sync user posts to each individual viewer's location. This OPTIONAL solution would require the poster to choose a so-called "Flex Timezone" posting option.

E.g.
I live in UTC+42069, but I want my posts to show up at the same time relative to the viewer, or even if there is an option for X number of hour delay.

I.e.
I post GM at 8am my time, and a viewer 3 hours behind does not see the post at 5am their time, but instead at 8am their time (11am my time).

Ideally there would be a public facing "Flex Timezone" watermark to signal an intentional post privacy as to not cause confusion to the viewer.

This should translate to some sort of Zero Knowledge Timezone (ZKTZ) solution.

Would any #nostriches like this solution, or is it not worth the time to develop?
