We said we’d start with a table.
@carv_official just sat down🍲🔥
The table’s getting warm.
Come grab a seat👇
An account is not an identity.
It’s just one expression of it.
@heydotxyz puts your other Lens accounts on the same profile.
@web3bio makes the connection visible.
Small UX on the surface.
A bigger shift underneath: the graph follows the person, not the handle.

Love seeing @heydotxyz now using the API to enrich social profiles.

brain: offline
hotpot: pending
Monday: 👀
The internet made it easy to join things.
It never made belonging automatic.
You have to be there more than once.
Same place.
Same people.
Show up enough times,
and a crowd becomes a community.
Monday we start with a table 🍲

You can lock down the code and still lose the identity.
If a platform can hand over the passport, the selfie, or the history because an email looked official, the user was never in control of the disclosure.
That’s not a verification problem.
That’s an identity-control problem.

Another day, another reminder:
“Looks official” and “is trustworthy” are two very different things.
European fintech firm Revolut gave hundreds of its customers’ data to someone masquerading as a government agency—and the customers are angry
There probably isn't one app that fixes privacy.
It's a stack.
Different tools for different layers.
Social is one layer, not the whole thing.
we are pro-stack, not 1 silver bullet.
It helps to use different tools, practices depending on personal & collective context. Especially, when tech products can ship for years.

Hiding the chain is easy.
The hard part is making sure you don't disappear with it.
You never cared which server held your Spotify list.
You don't care which database holds your DMs.
You shouldn't have to care which chain holds your activities either.
Relationships. History. Reputation.
Those should stay yours when the infrastructure disappears.

Crypto keeps adding more things to trade.
But the better products make you think about fewer things.

Trading has a finished loop.
Buy. Sell. Done.
Social doesn't.
It has to compound:
Identity. Trust. Memory. Who's still here after the campaign ends.
That's why trading products ship faster.
Not because social failed.
Because social is a slower machine.
The mistake is treating the slower layer as optional.

Privacy's sold like a math problem.
Lived like an ops problem.
Wrong wallet.
Wrong chain.
Wrong approval.
Wrong click.
The math checked out.
Tuesday didn't.
We call it "my profile, "my followers", "my history."
But the platform stores the relationships, writes the rules, and decides what survives.
We've spent 20 years calling that ours.
Then the spelling moved.

Apple: one phone, two faces, one account
Crypto: one guy, 17 wallets, 9 usernames, 4 pfps
We folded the phone.
We still can't fold the identity.
Every new social app adds another place to find people.
The harder problem is knowing they're the same person.
One more piece of the Identity Graph, now with @fomo 🔎
🔎 now supports @fomo search
Just add .fomo to the end of the handle and search:
- Search a Fomo account to discover its wallet address and linked social identities
- Search an wallet address or social account to find its connected Fomo account and jump straight to it
One search, across the entire Identity Graph.

The internet spent years making everything
more public.
more searchable.
more permanent.
Now the pendulum is starting to swing back.
Not because people suddenly got paranoid.
Because permanent visibility finally started to cost something.

Give it two years.
"My agent got scammed" is going to be more common than "I got scammed".
And somehow still nobody's liable for it.
