Ginza vs Facebook · what is actually different
Facebook is a vast public platform with an algorithmic feed, advertising, and a focus on reach. Ginza is a small, private network with a chronological feed, no advertising, and a focus on existing friendships. Here is the side-by-side.
Feed
Facebook: algorithmic, optimised for engagement. Ginza: chronological, friends-only, no engagement signals visible to the algorithm because there is no algorithm.
Advertising
Facebook: a primary revenue stream. Ginza: none. Ginza is run by Kraftwire on a small infra budget.
Privacy
Facebook: extensive tracking on and off the platform. Ginza: friends-only defaults, no off-site tracking.
Communities
Facebook Groups are real but designed for scale. Ginza communities are small and topical, modelled on Orkut comunidades.
Moderation
Facebook moderates at scale with limited transparency. Ginza is small enough to moderate carefully, with a published policy.
If "smaller, calmer, friend-first" sounds right, try Ginza.
