@freemo I was trying https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br

It seems to be the de facto crossposting site, but I'm open to other suggestions.

@ianmacd seems they blocked us, which I heard someone say before.. They never gave us a reason other than because we let our users have an uncensored view of the fediverse that makes us worthy of a block, which makes no sense to me, but whatever.

here is what I use for crossposting and it has always worked well for me: https://moa.party/

@freemo Thanks. I'll try that.

I've only just noticed the flag next to your name. Nederlander, toevallig?

@ianmacd I have a house there and usually spend most of my year there, however this year with the virus I was absent a lot sadly.

My dutch skills are so far non existent. My past attempts to learn mostly failed but when i go back i intent to get a dutch teacher.

@freemo Ah, OK; a good thing I didn't just switch straight to Dutch, then.

Where are you actually from, or where do you live now?

@ianmacd born and raised in Philadelphia, though I genuinely dislike americans and american culture (though i know a few good rare americans, most are annoying). Dutch is where I'm happiest and more so identify with in terms of the culture.

@ianmacd I take it your dutch and live there?

@freemo I can identify with your sentiments.

I moved to Amsterdam 30 years ago from the UK, spent 5 years working in Silicon Valley, and my wife is American.

So, I understand better than most what is great about the Netherlands, what is often annoying about Americans, and which American things are great (e.g. the bold, can-do attitude of tech start-up culture, and the affordable National Park system, to name a couple).

I assume your house here is rented out at the moment. I hope you can make it back here soon.

@ianmacd yea im eager to get back myself. And seems we agree on the good points too.

@ianmacd

Assuming the crossposter and the instance have the same blacklist, QOTO is blocked on their end. You'll see us under "Servidores banidos" at the bottom of https://masto.donte.com.br/about/more

@freemo

@khird @freemo Ah yeah, I hadn't seen that list on their site.

OK, it's not exactly in the spirit of federation, but hey, it's their service so their call, too.

Thanks for clarifying.

@khird

I got a muscle cramp scrolling down that whole block list lol.
