What if the fc graph topology doesn’t make sense for the app? @zinger has a good take here that the fc graph is for friends not followers - I’m not sure if it makes sense to import it in other social contexts https://warpcast.com/zinger/0x23ca9a39

@garrett
this is a highly opinionated take from @zinger FC graph is a social network graph which means people will use it in different ways The most bullish case for FC is that it will be the last social graph that you really need to build and maintain

i held this position in 2022 so i'm familiar with the argument. if the context is significantly different (linkedin vs instagram) then i agree don't use the same graph. i don't think creators vs friends are that different. even if there are creators in the network, i want to consume their content alongside my friends. like i do on instagram. it's pragmatic - these graphs aren't different enough to justify starting users off at zero on your app. entertainment and social life are blended. and clients need to help users navigate that.

zora handles this well imo, they have their own app (creator-focused ofc) - but you can one-click follow your whole fc graph if you want
