Mastodon is a microblogging platform and one of the Fediverse's replacements for Twitter.
Mastodon像什么？
Mastodon在很多方面与Twitter相似，你可以发布短消息、添加图像、视频、音频、图像/视频/音频的描述、内容警告和投票。你可以在你的嘟文中@其他使用Fediverse的用户，或是给他们发送私人消息。您可以使用主题标签并根据主题标签查找帖子。
比推特好在哪？
使用 Mastodon,您可以发布更长的帖子 - 通常为 500 个字符,尽管某些实例具有更大的字符限制。 没有算法来决定你能看到什么和不看到什么,但提要是按时间顺序排列的,并且基于你关注的人和你关注的人推动什么。 在 Twitter & Co 上,该算法不一定会向您展示您想看到的内容,但会放大仇恨和争议,让您尽可能长时间地观看广告。 Twitter上有很多追随者,那么你期望在乳齿象上的影响力会更窄,但关注你的人通常更乐意以有意义的方式与你互动。

What are some limitations?
With all the advantages, like Twitter, Mastodon still has some limitations.
Some things that are fixed and the admins can't change for their instances:
- character limit (500)
- poll options (4)
- profile fields (4)
- max number of pinned posts (5)
- users must provide an email address to register
What are Mastodon forks and why use them?
A fork is a derivative software. So Mastodon forks are software based on Mastodon.
They look and feel mostly like Mastodon, but some have some extra features that e.g. address some of the limitations mentioned above.

Ecko
Main article: What is Ecko?
Ecko is a Mastodon fork that has a lot of cool features.
Admins can change the limits on post characters, poll options & profile fields.
So on an Ecko instance you might e.g. have a 5000 character limit for posts and can create polls with 10 options.
Furthermore local posts are possible. Meaning posts only other users of the same instance can see. This might strengthen the community spirit.
