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?

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

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.

the ultimate goal is to build a social graph that is composed of semantically explicit  relations and can transfer on chain credit from those who have on chain evidence to those who do not. Love to hear your feedback.

I don’t speak for social relations among actors, but more types of reaction for posts/casts might be interesting - LinkedIn is ok but maybe there could be responses indicating “interesting”, “agree”, “disagree”, “say more”, and probably some others…
