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. :)

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.

It does not matter if you don't have a single identifier for all users though. That's why wallets are so important.
