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.

Before zkTLS there were two problems with exporting social graph:

1. Technically not possible because of non-repudiation in TLS

We’ve solve this problem where it reduces to getting the user to login.

2. A compelling product that people want to use

I talk to a lot of people who want to vampire Twitter. They all think a token is enough to get people to move, but I’m skeptical.

FC doesn’t have a token, what does the token do for a vampire when it’s complete?

You still need to build a product people want to use on its own merits.
