org.anthers.follow

One account following another on Anthers, meaning: show me what this person releases. Anthers mints this rather than adopting `app.bsky.graph.follow`, which it could. Following a creator for their releases is a different act from an edge in a microblog's social graph — somebody may reasonably want one without the other, and a creator may not be on that network at all — so conflating them would mean following a game developer here silently added them to a timeline somewhere else. Mirroring a follow onto another network is something a person chooses, never a consequence of following here.

The identifier of the account being followed. A bare identifier rather than the object the other records use for their subjects, because this one names a PERSON rather than a record: an identifier is already precise and permanently resolvable, and there is nothing to carry beside it the way a record address could carry a version.
