    walled garden

    Facebook control everything and you can only do what they want, it’s restrictive. Mastodon can be hosted and modified by anyone, it’s freedom.

    A closed platform, walled garden, (…) is a software system wherein the carrier or service provider has control over applications, content, and/or media, and restricts convenient access to non-approved applicants or content. This is in contrast to an open platform, wherein consumers generally have unrestricted access to applications and content. - wikipedia

      I’m going to say that to the absolute gross majority of people federation means absolutely nothing.

      I’d go even as far as to say that the Venn diagram of what you can and cannot post between Mastodon and blue sky is almost the perfect circle

      What are you talking about? BlueSky has absolutely nothing to do with Facebook. It’s a different company using the open AT Protocol.
