      I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

        walled garden

        Facebook control all aspects: you can only do what they want. 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
