Crissy Kuchisabishii Geco 🇨🇦<p>The difference between Big Social (walled garden) vs. Fedi Garden (open web/Fedi) is about who's in charge.</p><p>In a walled garden (like big social platforms), one company owns the whole place. This means<br>1. You don't own your data. Your photos, your words, your ideas are used to make money for them<br>2. The rules can change at any time. The company decides what's right and what's wrong, & they can change the rules overnight<br>3. You feel like you're just a visitor. You're there to scroll, not to build</p><p>In the Fedi Garden, we have a different way of doing things. Here's what we believe<br>1. You own your data. Your content belongs to you. No one can track you or sell your info<br>2. The communities set the rules. Each small garden (or server) has its own rules, so you can find a community that feels safe & right for you<br>3. You're a co-creator. You're not just a user, you're a builder. You help create the culture & space</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/FediCollective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediCollective</span></a> was born from <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/FediCon2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediCon2025</span></a> <br>3 min. pod <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/CoffeeWithCrissy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CoffeeWithCrissy</span></a> s1e6 <br><a href="https://youtu.be/VU00eVE9wGU" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/VU00eVE9wGU</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
