would love to see some mainstream media coverage that acknowledges blockchain as the solution that enables portable social graphs lots of people care about this problem (“I’ll lose all my followers if I leave [platform]!”) but maybe aren’t aware of how to solve for it.

Don't mean to be a contrarian, but in Farcaster the portable social graph does not use a blockchain (in the Ethereum sense of the word), only your farcaster identity (FID) uses a blockchain. Bluesky also has a portable follow graph and decentralized ID that does not use a blockchain.

yes good clarification, personally I see the onchain FID as necessary for this vision. portable social graph is one aspect, account that you actually own and can’t be rugged is another.
