Why do you care if the screen shows 5 people in city X (which is not your city anyway)? What use do you have of knowing exact names of people in city X half way acros the globe?

Exactly. A _person_. That's enough information to satisfy curiosity. No need to publish exact names.
If I don't know their username, how can I look at what they post about? I think lots of people on HN are curious and inquisitive by nature
Travel - it seems that if this app takes off, catching up with people as you travel is a solid use case.
It is interesting to me and others.
There's a person living in Vila do Corvo. I didn't know that was a place. What are they interested in? What do the technical people of Vila do Corvo post about?
(In this case, not much, but it was fun to find out.)
