@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.

@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?

@freemo Thanks. I’ll try that.

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

@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.

Is the Mastodon crossposter not allowed on #qoto?

If not, fair enough, but I can't actually find a statement to that effect anywhere on the site, hence the question.
