# Social Media
> Referenced by: [Commune](/garden/commune/index.md), [Fediverse](/garden/fediverse/index.md)
Traditional social media
- Not [Decentralized](/garden/decentralized/index.md)
- Can't choose your own rules, sorting methods, data queries, etc.
- Overrun by scams and ads and influencers
[Federated Social Media](/garden/fediverse/index.md)
- Partially [Decentralized](/garden/decentralized/index.md)
- Self hosting is too hard for everyone to do
- Still subject to instance's moderation, limitations, etc.
- Users need to pick an instance, associating their identity with one specific group
- People belong to many groups
- The person is permanently associated with that one group
- You have to pick before getting a "trial period" to ensure you actually like that group/instance
