What is Ecko?/de: Difference between revisions

{{Infobox |title=Ecko |website=joinecko.com |instance=c4.social}}

Ecko is a [[ What is Mastodon? |Mastodon]] fork with many cool features, that Mastodon doesn't have. <br>

It follows the [https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec/42/ Collective Code Construction Contract] or C4 to e.g. add features that are deemed valuable by the community. <br>

This is a difference from Mastodon, where its author Eugen Rochko decides which features Mastodon should have on his own even against the public opinion.

== What features does Ecko have, that Mastodon doesn't? ==

The admin can change the following values:

* max post length

* max poll options

* max poll answer length

* max profile metadata fields

* max length of “about me” text

* max number of pinned toots

The admin can also upload a favicon in the admin settings and import/export the instance blocklist. <br>

Furthermore local toots are possible. Those are toots that can only be seen by people on the same instance.
