When thinking about decentralized social networking, the Fediverse is taking the approach of having the content travel (I post from Mastodon, you read from Threads).

I think a much better model is one where the social graph travels: when I log in on a 3rd party website, my social graph is there.

Meta isn’t going to let the graph travel. :)

Who said they need to allow it? 

I'm sure someone could watch a few @eulerlagrange.eth talks and then emancipate it.

Yeah, for all the (many) issues with the X API, at least they let you access personal social graphs (even if it’s pricey). LinkedIn and Meta either don’t offer those endpoints or make it super limited.
