it's 2024, when i sign up for an onchain social app, i expect to autofollow anyone who i already follow on farcaster

I'd rather be prompted & have the choice to auto-follow

Yes it saves a click in many cases but imagine I actually wanted a new social graph and now I have to manually unfollow everyone?

yeah I guess the ideal state would be to auto-populate social content (permissionlessly!) but not lock me into that social graph if I want to start fresh

you’ll always have to groom your experience

but id rather start with an experience thats based on my graph than to start from scratch

if i sign up for spotify, it would be better to see what my friends are listening to than to be treated like a nobody

esp if ive never used spotify b4 and im trying understand it
