🇳🇱
@ianmacd it is not blocked from our end. What cross poster are you using?
@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.
@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.
