it seems that we only have "follow", "comment", and "like" as the relations among identities in most social networks . However, due to the lack of explicit semantics, these relations can not reflect the nature or feature of the relations. Would it be useful to have semantic explicit social relations?

sample semantic explicit relations : 1 eating together regularly 2 coding together regularly 3 met in clubhouse 4 worked in same project at XXX company 5 did a podcast together these relations can either describe regular interactions or one-time interactions.

I can think of 2 use cases for semantic explicit relations : 1 help users better understand their 2nd or higher degree connections by giving information on how exactly these connections connect with users' friends 2 build edge-semantic-explicit social graphs(may need nlp aggregation) for more powerful analysis
