馃悩 Who owns your posts? On the #Fediverse, the answer is you.
When you join #Mastodon or any server, think of it as packing your stuff into a great, moveable home. 馃彙 Your posts, your connections, everything is inside!
If you decide your server (your home) isn't the right fit, you don't lose your stuff. You can pack up and move to a new server, and your followers come with you! Your content is portable because of the open rules (ActivityPub).
A big company can't delete your home or decide who visits you.
This is the key realisation: If you can move your account whenever you want, then you are the one in charge. No giant company gets to decide the fate of your words or your community.
The #OpenWeb is about power for the people who make the content. What does owning your data mean for your peace of mind?
This is why I love Fedi: genuine ownership. I still use LinkedIn to share these thoughts and invite others here (it's a necessary bridge), but #fedi is where the real connection and control lives.
