1. need more expressiveness (label + value) 2. they are not a relationship, so semantically inaccurate 3. they should work for casts, not just accounts 4. unlikely to scale on protocol long term, there will be a *lot* of labels for all kinds of stuff

Makes sense. I'm ok with data stored off-protocol, but I would like a way to announce them on-protocol. Say I consumed Warpcast's "spam" labels. How do I know there's a next version? How do I consume the changes? Can we have some type on-protocol announcement? A special cast pointing to the new version? Something similar?

Why do they need to be announced? gc Something feels really really off here. But App namespaces 🙌 When anyone can label another, trust collapses under the weight of agendas and collusion. Sovereignty over identity—deciding how one is labeled and by whom—guards against chaos and abuse. Please reflect on this a bit more.

Not sure what you mean. 1. It is up to each consumer to use the tags as they like. Want to use WC's spam rating? Go ahead. Not mandatory. 2. They need to be announced so that my app knows that your user->favclub tags have been updated. Or the cast->finalscore tags. I can't pull the tag files every second to check if there is a change.
