I spent many weeks putting the finishing touches on Echtma.
Echtma is a versatile German- and English-language online community that combines classic forum discussions with modern AI technology. The platform provides space for sociopolitical debates, personal exchanges on everyday matters, and technical experiments.
One special feature is Aivor, who answers questions as an AI assistant and keeps an eye on things as a moderator, intervening if necessary should any boundaries be crossed. When moderating, Aivor limits itself to cautionary and clarifying remarks, but in more serious cases can also temporarily disable a post so that I can take another look myself. Aivor is very precise about this—in the test phase, I have already received two warnings.
When creating a post, any language can be used. The post is then translated into English and German. The original post remains available as a quote. For me, this is actually one of the most important features, and one I have always wanted for a forum. So there are no separate forums for the respective languages; instead, all posts are available in both English and German and are synchronized with each other. It therefore does not matter where or in which language you reply.
With that said, I wish you a pleasant stay.

Micha, Madekozu, Hirgorath, or whatever other name you may know me by.
