Much of the SWICG focus is currently on the microblogging use case, and streams of activities. Outside our group, though, “social web” often means people, friends, and connections, the Facebook-style social graph. I’ve been exploring whether today’s W3C building blocks can make a portable, URI-addressable social graph practical, alongside streams rather than instead of them. The blog post uses Nostr, self-sovereign, portable, identity as a worked example, but the graph model aims to be broadly compatible with ActivityPub, Bluesky/AT, Solid, and the wider social web. The intent isn’t to pick winners, just to surface a simple, portable graph that could serve as common ground across stacks. Perhaps useful food for thought, for some here. https://dev.to/melvincarvalho/the-webs-missing-piece-how-did-nostr-quietly-solves-social-portability-1bg
