1. I think this is fine! Permissionless means you can build however you want.

2. For those that have been around for a while, Varun correctly predicted this and there was a lot of pushback from devs (remember amps?). Protocol follows only work if a large app like Warpcast is willing to follow that norm.

(To be clear again: these apps should build however they want and should not feel pressured to ask users for signers / add back to the graph if that's not beneficial to them.)

Already does kinda. You can add a ‘type’ when adding a new link on the protocol

fwiw you can add new link types to the protocol if you want to add follows from your own app to farcaster

Definitely need to play with this. Can we Link to a FIP-2 parentUrl? That would be 🔥

Ethereum builder & people connector. @juicebox revnet.eth.sucks defifa.net d33m.com

FIP-2 is distinct from what I said but yeah any cast or reaction can be linked to arbitrary target URLs

Yeah but can a new Link-type (other than follow) be created targeting FIP-2? 

Eg FID:4163 —supports—> parentUrl:“Liverpool” 

Otherwise it’s 

FID:4163 —supports—> FID:5961284 ie “Liverpool” where each account is in the protocol & costs $$

Channels also $$ & not yet decentralized. I’d imagine that’s supported today via api but haven’t looked. 

Excited to see more link types for sure💜

This would be a huge unlock. Appreciate your top of head intuition on this

hm interesting, might be. will look 

@manan if you know off the top of your head whether there can be links to follow target urls
