Please boost these photos of my beautiful cat Nala to help me federate my new instance! Thanks! 😀

She is 8 1/2 years old. I've had her for four years. Her fur colour is referred as "tortoise shell" or "tortie". A combination of black, brown, and white.

My cat Nala sprawled out and relaxing on my home office desk, as she takes a moment wondering what I'm doing before looking out the window facing the street again.

To get started, all I really had to do is create an account at Masto.host, choose a plan, and wait a few minutes. I emailed my domain web host the supplied DNS details, and it was taken care of quickly.

I don’t manage the backend stuff.

I think that those who are comfortable with those steps should setup their own instance, and help take the load off the larger ones.

I am forever grateful to mstdn.ca, and wish more of their users supported them.

I joined mstdn.ca in its early days because I had never heard of Mastodon at the time, and it made sense to me to join and financially support a managed instance I didn’t need to worry about.

As I have learned more about how Mastodon works, and that options like Masto.host exist, I am now comfortable managing the basics of my own instance, without the challenges of being part of a larger instance.

I removed the "request follow" for my account. I found they don't make it very obvious at a glance when follows are pending, and that's a problem for staying on top of them.

They're building a roundabout in south Red Deer, which is desperately needed, though few seem to know how to use them.

They're had to close off walking and biking paths and literally pave over some areas so people can get around the major work being done.

It's always the pedestrians and cyclists who are lesser priority. Sigh.

@kboyd Apologies. Could swear he was in "Ungentlemanly Warfare". Confused him with Alan Ritchson.

Wrath of Man was very good. I agree about Beekeeper.

Now posting on this instance - my own.

To echo what I said on mstdn.ca, I have truly appreciated being part of that instance since it's early days, and I look forward to continued conversations with the people there! :)

@kboyd Jason Statham movies are hit and miss, IMHO. I strongly recommend Wrath Of Man instead. Best acting I've seen him do, tbh.

@kboyd haven’t seen it. There was no hype for it, and the reviews aren’t very good.

#Introduction - 07/28/24

Currently living in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada with my 8 1/2 y/o cat Nala. Grew up a Military brat, so I've been around Canada.

I suffer from chronic IBS and severe Anxiety.

This is my first post on my new personal instance via masto.host.

This is a placeholder account for now. MSTDN.ca is having financial difficulties. I will switch to this account if needed.
