Same here, but nearest 100 people is not symmetric. While I may be nearest for you, there could be 1000 other people nearer to me than I am to you.



That is no different to having a fixed radius.


sure, but the statement was that you would be talking to 100 people, there is no way to enforce that it is 100 people. Perhaps you could partition the geographic area with centroids like a voronoi diagram, but then you will be dropping people in and out of chat if you move them to different clusters. A fixed radius is the simplest solution and probably a good place to start.
