For context: this person has a mutual friend with me who told me that he told him that he didn't believe what i wanted to build was possible (he then told the mutual friend reasons why).</p><p>What boggles my mind is why say yes when he had no intention of following thru. EIther way, I read that energy and accept that he was not the right person to build with.</p><p>I returned from <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/FediCon2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediCon2025</span></a> with solutions based on real concerns people brought forth, giving birth to a third space called <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/FediCollective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediCollective</span></a> here in Vancouver!</p><p>I just think it's telling that I know what solutions I can bring that can affect positive change instead of just arguing for limitations.

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, &amp; 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 &amp; right for you<br>3. You're a co-creator. You're not just a user, you're a builder.
